How are Islamic prayer times calculated for Toronto Canada?

Muslims in Toronto follow prayer times that are determined through precise astronomical calculations taking into account the city’s specific geographical coordinates. These calculations consider factors such as the Earth’s rotation, the tilt of the Earth’s axis, and the position of the sun.

To illustrate, here are today’s 5 prayer time in Toronto:

• Fajr prayer starts at 04:17. This is the time when the first faint light of dawn appears on the horizon.
• Dhuhr prayer starts at 12:39. This time starts after the sun passes its zenith (highest point in the sky).
• Asr prayer starts at 17:28. The calculation for Asr is more complex and involves comparing the length of an object’s shadow to its actual height.
• Maghrib prayer starts at 19:28, precisely at sunset.
• Isha prayer commences at 20:55, when the twilight fades completely, and darkness envelops the city.

It’s important to note that prayer times can vary throughout the year due to the changing seasons and the Earth’s elliptical orbit around the sun.
