How New Haven's prayer times are worked out

From New Haven, the Qibla is 59° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 10,195 km (6,335 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from New Haven's own coordinates (41.31°N, 72.93°W), not a national average. That is why New Haven's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the New Haven timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. New Haven lies well west inside its New York 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 16h 51m near June down to 10h 35m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for New Haven 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 Bridgeport, Hartford and Bronx. Each is only a few minutes off New Haven's clock.
