Prayer Times in Wawarsing, United States

Prayer times in Wawarsing

Wawarsing is a long way from Makkah — about 10,275 kilometres (6,384 miles) in a straight line. Over that distance the shortest path curves noticeably, which is why the qibla here points east-north-east (58°) rather than the direction a flat map would suggest.

If you are fasting

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 5:50 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 5:56 pm. Around 12 hours and 6 minutes without food or water today. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

True midday in Wawarsing arrives some 41 minutes after what the clock reads. That is why Dhuhr sits at 12:41 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.

Through the year

The yearly swing here is substantial. In June, Fajr in Wawarsing 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.

The shape of the day

Everything begins with Fajr, 5:50 am today. Sunrise at 7:26 am closes that window. Next is Dhuhr at 12:41 pm, then Asr in the afternoon at 4:14 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 5:56 pm; Isha is the last, at 7:26 pm. That is some 10 hours and 30 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

Where these times come from

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.
