How Waterloo's prayer times are worked out

From Waterloo, the Qibla is 54° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 10,582 km (6,575 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Waterloo's own coordinates (43.47°N, 80.52°W), not a national average. That is why Waterloo's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Waterloo timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Waterloo lies well west inside its Toronto time zone. So the sun peaks about 90 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 17h 16m near June down to 10h 24m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Waterloo 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 Kitchener, Guelph and Brantford. Each is only a few minutes off Waterloo's clock.
