Nutana Sector Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Nutana Sector, Canada

Nutana Sectorprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (52.1000°N, 106.6371°W) using the ISNA calculation method — the standard used by most mosques in Canada and across the United States. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.

The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Nutana Sector's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Nutana Sector prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Nutana Sector's prayer times are worked out

Nutana Sector sits 11,215 km (6,969 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 32° from true north — you face northeast to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Canada follows the ISNA method set by the Islamic Society of North America: Fajr begins when the sun is 15° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 15°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.

Day length is what really moves the timetable in Nutana Sector. Measured with the ISNA method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 17h 47m around June, while the shortest is roughly 9h 30m in December: a swing of 8h 17m across the year. That spread is set by Nutana Sector's latitude (52.10°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Nutana Sector does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its America/Regina time zone, the sun peaks about 75 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 1:14 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Lakewood, Saskatoon, Confederation — close enough that their times differ from Nutana Sector's by only a few minutes.
