Markham's times use the ISNA method. That is the standard used by most mosques in Canada and across the United States. They are drawn from Markham's own coordinates (43.8668°N, 79.2663°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Markham's prayer times are worked out

From Markham, the Qibla is 55° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 10,474 km (6,509 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Markham's own coordinates (43.87°N, 79.27°W), not a national average. That is why Markham's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Markham timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Markham lies well west inside its Toronto time zone. So the sun peaks about 85 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:02 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 20m near June down to 10h 21m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Markham 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 Pickering, Woburn and Richmond Hill. Each is only a few minutes off Markham's clock.
