How Albuquerque's prayer times are worked out

From Albuquerque, the Qibla is 35° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 12,805 km (7,957 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Albuquerque's own coordinates (35.08°N, 106.65°W), not a national average. That is why Albuquerque's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Albuquerque timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Albuquerque lies well west inside its Denver time zone. So the sun peaks about 75 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:12 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 58m near June down to 11h 04m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Albuquerque 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 El Paso, Lubbock and Tucson. Each is only a few minutes off Albuquerque's clock.
