Prayer Times in Jacksonville, United States

Praying in Jacksonville

Everything on this page is calculated for Jacksonville, United States specifically, using the position 31.96° N, 95.26° W. It is a small distinction that matters in practice: the sun does not arrive everywhere in a country at once.

The clock against the sun

The sun reaches its high point roughly 65 minutes after noon here. It explains the 1:05 pm Dhuhr — the timezone boundary is drawn some way from this city's own meridian. This catches people out regularly, but prayer follows the sun, and the clock is only the label we put on it.

A walk through today's times

The day's first prayer, Fajr, falls at 6:11 am. Sunrise at 7:36 am closes that window. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 1:05 pm, and Asr at 4:55 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 6:33 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 8:03 pm. That gives Jacksonville roughly 10 hours and 57 minutes of daylight today.

Which way to face in Jacksonville

From this city the direction is north-east, or 45° if you prefer the number. The distance works out to about 12,394 kilometres, or 7,702 miles.

How much the times move

The seasons show here without dominating. Summer in Jacksonville brings earlier Fajr times and a later Isha; winter pulls everything inward, and Maghrib can arrive while the afternoon still feels unfinished. Expect an hour or two of movement between the extremes.

Ramadan timings

Suhoor closes at 6:11 am in Jacksonville, with iftar at 6:33 pm. Roughly 12 hours and 22 minutes, going by today's figures. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

The calculation behind them

The calculation used here is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.
