Manchester Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Manchester, New Hampshire

Prayer times in Manchester are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (43.00°N). We use the ISNA method, the one followed across New Hampshire. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Manchester's times use the ISNA method. That is the standard used by most mosques in New Hampshire and across the United States. They are drawn from Manchester's own coordinates (42.9956°N, 71.4548°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Manchester's prayer times are worked out

From Manchester, the Qibla is 60° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 9,995 km (6,211 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Manchester's own coordinates (43.00°N, 71.45°W), not a national average. That is why Manchester's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Manchester timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Manchester lies well west inside its New York time zone. So the sun peaks about 54 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:51 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 10m near June down to 10h 26m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Manchester 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 Cambridge, Boston and Portland. Each is only a few minutes off Manchester's clock.
