How St. John's's prayer times are worked out

From St. John's, the Qibla is 73° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 8,452 km (5,252 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from St. John's's own coordinates (47.56°N, 52.71°W), not a national average. That is why St. John's's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the St. John's timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. St. John's lies well west inside its St Johns time zone. So the sun peaks about 69 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:46 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 18h 12m near June down to 10h 00m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for St. John's 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 Dartmouth, Halifax and Lower Sackville. Each is only a few minutes off St. John's's clock.
