How Tucson's prayer times are worked out

From Tucson, the Qibla is 31° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 13,290 km (8,258 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Tucson's own coordinates (32.22°N, 110.97°W), not a national average. That is why Tucson's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Tucson timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Tucson lies well west inside its Phoenix time zone. So the sun peaks about 32 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:30 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 38m near June down to 11h 15m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Tucson 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 Phoenix, El Paso and Albuquerque. Each is only a few minutes off Tucson's clock.
