Prayer Times in Kansas City, United States

Kansas City, hour by hour

The times below are worked out for Kansas City itself, from the city's own coordinates (39.12° N, 94.74° W). It is a small distinction that matters in practice: the sun does not arrive everywhere in a country at once.

Kansas City today, prayer by prayer

Fajr opens the day at 6:12 am, well before first light. You have until 7:44 am, when the sun comes up. Next is Dhuhr at 1:03 pm, then Asr in the afternoon at 4:40 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 6:20 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 7:50 pm. That gives Kansas City roughly 10 hours and 36 minutes of daylight today.

Nearby cities

United States has 105 other cities covered on this site. It is worth switching to the right one when you travel — a few hundred kilometres east or west moves Fajr and Maghrib by a noticeable margin.

Method and madhab

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. 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. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

Finding the qibla

From this city the direction is north-east, or 44° if you prefer the number. Makkah is around 11,791 kilometres (7,327 miles) away in a straight line. Worth remembering that a phone compass points to magnetic north, which can sit several degrees off true north depending on where you are.

If you are fasting

Suhoor closes at 6:12 am in Kansas City, with iftar at 6:20 pm. Roughly 12 hours and 8 minutes, going by today's figures. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

True midday in Kansas City arrives some 63 minutes after what the clock reads. That is why Dhuhr sits at 1:03 pm rather than just past midday, and it carries through to Asr, Maghrib and Isha as well. This catches people out regularly, but prayer follows the sun, and the clock is only the label we put on it.

The yearly swing

The yearly swing here is substantial. In June, Fajr in Kansas City can fall in the small hours with Isha holding off until late evening; in December the whole day from Fajr to Isha is over in a short span. Check the monthly timetable rather than assuming last season's times still hold.
