How Pierrefonds's prayer times are worked out

From Pierrefonds, the Qibla is 58° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 10,022 km (6,228 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Pierrefonds's own coordinates (45.46°N, 73.89°W), not a national average. That is why Pierrefonds's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Pierrefonds timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Pierrefonds lies well west inside its Toronto time zone. So the sun peaks about 64 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:41 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 40m near June down to 10h 13m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Pierrefonds 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 Pierrefonds-Roxboro, Chomedey and Saint-Laurent. Each is only a few minutes off Pierrefonds's clock.
