How Hamilton's prayer times are worked out

From Hamilton, the Qibla is 54° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 10,553 km (6,557 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Hamilton's own coordinates (43.25°N, 79.85°W), not a national average. That is why Hamilton's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Hamilton timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Hamilton lies well west inside its Toronto time zone. So the sun peaks about 88 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:04 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 12m near June down to 10h 25m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Hamilton 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 Stoney Creek, Burlington and Oakville. Each is only a few minutes off Hamilton's clock.
