Prayer Times in Indianapolis, United States

Praying in Indianapolis

The first thing to understand about the Indianapolis timetable is that local clock time runs a long way off solar time. True midday arrives some 88 minutes after what the clock reads, putting Dhuhr at 1:28 pm and dragging Asr, Maghrib and Isha along behind it.

The direction of prayer

Turn north-east, about 50°, for the qibla. The distance works out to about 11,203 kilometres, or 6,961 miles.

Season by season in Indianapolis

Indianapolis sees a large seasonal spread — very early summer Fajr times, a very late Isha, then a tightly packed winter day. The month view below is the reliable way to keep track.

Where these times come from

The underlying method is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.
