Milwaukee's times use the ISNA method. That is the standard used by most mosques in Wisconsin and across the United States. They are drawn from Milwaukee's own coordinates (43.0389°N, 87.9065°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Milwaukee's prayer times are worked out

From Milwaukee, the Qibla is 48° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 11,077 km (6,883 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Milwaukee's own coordinates (43.04°N, 87.91°W), not a national average. That is why Milwaukee's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Milwaukee timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Milwaukee lies well west inside its Chicago time zone. So the sun peaks about 60 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:58 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 11m near June down to 10h 26m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Milwaukee 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 Madison, Chicago and Bridgeview. Each is only a few minutes off Milwaukee's clock.
