Prayer Times in Omaha, Nebraska

Omaha's times use the ISNA method. That is the standard used by most mosques in Nebraska and across the United States. They are drawn from Omaha's own coordinates (41.2565°N, 95.9345°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Omaha's prayer times are worked out

From Omaha, the Qibla is 42° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 11,687 km (7,262 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Omaha's own coordinates (41.26°N, 95.93°W), not a national average. That is why Omaha's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Omaha timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Omaha lies well west inside its Chicago time zone. So the sun peaks about 92 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:09 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 Omaha 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 Des Moines, Kansas City and Cedar Rapids. Each is only a few minutes off Omaha's clock.
