Islam in New York City
Jackson Heights & Jamaica, Queens
South Asian community
The largest concentration of Bangladeshi, Pakistani, and Indian Muslims in the US. Dozens of mosques line Hillside Avenue and Jamaica Avenue. Friday Jumu'ah in Jackson Heights draws thousands.
Bay Ridge, Brooklyn
Arab & Yemeni community
Atlantic Avenue is NYC's original Arab cultural corridor, home to Lebanese, Yemeni, and Palestinian communities since the early 1900s. Masjid Al-Farouq on Atlantic Ave is one of the oldest mosques in the borough.
Harlem, Manhattan
African American community
Harlem's Muslim presence dates to the 1920s–30s through the Moorish Science Temple and later the Nation of Islam. Today the neighborhood has a strong Sunni community with several historic mosques.
South Bronx
West African community
A large and growing Senegalese, Guinean, and Gambian Muslim community has established itself in the South Bronx, with mosques, halal markets, and community centers concentrated around Fordham Road.
Islamic Cultural Center of New York
The ICCNY at 96th Street and Third Avenue is Manhattan's largest mosque, completed in 1991 and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Its 90-foot minaret is a landmark on the Upper East Side. The building is oriented 58° northeast from true north — aligned precisely to the Qibla — placing it visibly off-axis from the Manhattan grid. Friday Jumu'ah prayers regularly overflow into the surrounding streets.

New York City Prayer Times — FAQ
What time is Fajr in New York City today?
Fajr in New York City ranges from about 3:45 AM in late June to 6:05 AM in mid-December, depending on the season. Today's exact time is shown in the prayer times widget above, calculated for Manhattan's coordinates (40.71°N, 74.01°W) using the ISNA method — the standard used by the Islamic Cultural Center of New York and most NYC mosques.
What time is Isha prayer in NYC?
Isha in New York City ranges from around 9:45 PM in midsummer to 7:10 PM in midwinter. Unlike Minneapolis or Seattle, NYC's Isha times are manageable year-round — the city sits at 40.7°N, giving moderate seasonal variation. Today's Isha time is shown above.
Which NYC neighborhoods have the largest Muslim communities?
New York City's Muslim population of over 800,000 is spread across all five boroughs. Jackson Heights and Jamaica (Queens) are home to large South Asian Muslim communities. Bay Ridge (Brooklyn) has the city's largest Arab and Yemeni community. Harlem (Manhattan) has a historic African American Muslim presence since the 1930s. Flatbush (Brooklyn) hosts Caribbean Muslim communities, and the South Bronx has a large West African Muslim population.
What direction is Qibla from New York City?
The Qibla from New York City is approximately 58° from true north — pointing northeast across the Atlantic toward Mecca. This surprises many people who expect it to point east or southeast based on flat maps. On a globe, the shortest path (great circle) from New York to Mecca runs northeast, through the North Atlantic, over Europe, then down to Saudi Arabia.
What is the Islamic Cultural Center of New York?
The Islamic Cultural Center of New York (ICCNY) on 96th Street and Third Avenue in Manhattan is the city's largest mosque, completed in 1991. It was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and features a 90-foot minaret visible along the Upper East Side skyline. The mosque is oriented toward Mecca at a 58° angle from true north — visibly offset from the Manhattan street grid. Friday Jumu'ah prayers regularly fill the street outside.
Are NYC prayer times the same across all five boroughs?
Very nearly — but not exactly. The five boroughs span about 35 miles east-west and 25 miles north-south. Brooklyn (40.68°N, 73.94°W) is slightly south and east of Manhattan, making its prayer times off by less than 2 minutes. The Bronx (40.84°N) is slightly further north, shifting Fajr and Isha by under a minute. For practical purposes, Manhattan times work for all boroughs. For precise borough times, use our dedicated Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, or Staten Island pages.
