How Vaughan's prayer times are worked out

From Vaughan, the Qibla is 54° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 10,492 km (6,519 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Vaughan's own coordinates (43.84°N, 79.50°W), not a national average. That is why Vaughan's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Vaughan timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Vaughan lies well west inside its Toronto time zone. So the sun peaks about 86 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:03 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 20m near June down to 10h 21m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Vaughan 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 Richmond Hill, Willowdale East and Willowdale. Each is only a few minutes off Vaughan's clock.
