Prayer Calculation Method

Calgary prayer times are calculated using astronomical methods to check accuracy depending on the city’s latitude, longitude, and time zone. Numbers of organizations worldwide provide these calculation standards, including the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), Muslim World League (MWL), Umm al-Qura University in Makkah, and others. Each method considers different features, such as solar angles at dawn (Fajr) and dusk (Isha) to establish prayer timings according to Calgary’s unique geographical position.

The advantages of understanding and selecting the right calculation method are important for practicing Muslims in Calgary. For example, choosing a method that best matches local sunrise and sunset patterns increases accuracy in prayer performance. Various methods may change slightly in their approach to dusk angles, affecting the timing of Fajr and Isha prayers, especially in regions with prominent seasonal changes like Calgary. This customization allows individuals to follow the method that reflects best with their community or personal preferences, focusing their prayers adjust closely with actual sunrise and sunset times.
