Ajax Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Ajax, Canada

Prayer times in Ajax are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (43.85°N). We use the ISNA method, the one followed across Canada. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Ajax's times use the ISNA method. That is the standard used by most mosques in Canada and across the United States. They are drawn from Ajax's own coordinates (43.8501°N, 79.0329°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Ajax's prayer times are worked out

From Ajax, the Qibla is 55° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 10,460 km (6,500 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ajax's own coordinates (43.85°N, 79.03°W), not a national average. That is why Ajax's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ajax timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ajax lies well west inside its Toronto time zone. So the sun peaks about 85 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:01 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 20m near June down to 10h 21m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ajax come from the Islamic Society of North America. The ISNA method sets Fajr when the sun is 15° below the horizon, and Isha at 15°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Whitby, Pickering and Oshawa. Each is only a few minutes off Ajax's clock.
