How Ann Arbor's prayer times are worked out

From Ann Arbor, the Qibla is 52° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 10,871 km (6,755 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ann Arbor's own coordinates (42.28°N, 83.74°W), not a national average. That is why Ann Arbor's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ann Arbor timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ann Arbor lies well west inside its Detroit time zone. So the sun peaks about 103 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:41 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 02m near June down to 10h 30m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ann Arbor 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 Dearborn, Pontiac and Detroit. Each is only a few minutes off Ann Arbor's clock.
