Québec Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Québec, Canada

Prayer times in Québec are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (46.81°N). We use the ISNA method, the one followed across Canada. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Québec's times use the ISNA method. That is the standard used by most mosques in Canada and across the United States. They are drawn from Québec's own coordinates (46.8123°N, 71.2145°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Québec's prayer times are worked out

From Québec, the Qibla is 60° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 9,768 km (6,070 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Québec's own coordinates (46.81°N, 71.21°W), not a national average. That is why Québec's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Québec timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Québec lies well west inside its Toronto time zone. So the sun peaks about 53 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:50 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 18h 00m near June down to 10h 05m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Québec 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 La Cité-Limoilou, Lévis and Les Rivières. Each is only a few minutes off Québec's clock.
