Prayer Times in Shreveport, Louisiana

Shreveport's times use the ISNA method. That is the standard used by most mosques in Louisiana and across the United States. They are drawn from Shreveport's own coordinates (32.5252°N, 93.7502°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Shreveport's prayer times are worked out

From Shreveport, the Qibla is 46° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 12,249 km (7,611 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Shreveport's own coordinates (32.53°N, 93.75°W), not a national average. That is why Shreveport's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Shreveport timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Shreveport lies well west inside its Chicago time zone. So the sun peaks about 83 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:20 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 40m near June down to 11h 14m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Shreveport 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 Little Rock, Dallas and Irving. Each is only a few minutes off Shreveport's clock.
