How Utica's prayer times are worked out

From Utica, the Qibla is 58° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 10,252 km (6,370 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Utica's own coordinates (43.10°N, 75.23°W), not a national average. That is why Utica's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Utica timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Utica lies well west inside its New York time zone. So the sun peaks about 69 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:59 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 11m near June down to 10h 26m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Utica 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 Syracuse, Albany and Kingston. Each is only a few minutes off Utica's clock.
