How Akron's prayer times are worked out

From Akron, the Qibla is 53° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 10,806 km (6,715 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Akron's own coordinates (41.08°N, 81.52°W), not a national average. That is why Akron's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Akron timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Akron lies well west inside its New York time zone. So the sun peaks about 94 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:31 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 49m near June down to 10h 36m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Akron 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 Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Columbus. Each is only a few minutes off Akron's clock.
