Last verified: 9 Nov 2026 for winter prayer times Calgary.

Winter prayer times on 9 November 2026

On Monday, 9 November 2026, the winter prayer times in Calgary are Fajr 7:08 AM, Sunrise 8:43 AM, Dhuhr 1:20 PM, Asr 4:10 PM, Maghrib 5:57 PM, and Isha 7:32 PM.

That is already a winter pattern. Fajr is more than an hour later than it was in early October, and Maghrib is more than an hour earlier. The gap between Maghrib and Isha is about one hour and thirty five minutes, so Isha comes quickly after sunset.

Winter prayer times on 30 November and 1 December 2026

On Monday, 30 November 2026, the times are Fajr 7:36 AM, Sunrise 9:16 AM, Dhuhr 1:25 PM, Asr 3:47 PM, Maghrib 5:33 PM, and Isha 7:14 PM.

On Tuesday, 1 December 2026, the times are Fajr 7:37 AM, Sunrise 9:18 AM, Dhuhr 1:25 PM, Asr 3:47 PM, Maghrib 5:33 PM, and Isha 7:13 PM.

Sunrise is now after 9:00 AM. That matters for Fajr and for Ishraq, because the sun rises late, and the morning feels short. Maghrib is now at 5:33 PM, so the working day ends after sunset for many people in Calgary.

Winter prayer times on 21 December 2026, the shortest day

On Monday, 21 December 2026, the times are Fajr 7:54 AM, Sunrise 9:37 AM, Dhuhr 1:35 PM, Asr 3:46 PM, Maghrib 5:32 PM, and Isha 7:15 PM.

This is close to the shortest day of the year in Calgary. From sunrise at 9:37 AM to Maghrib at 5:32 PM is about seven hours and fifty five minutes of daylight. Fajr is at 7:54 AM, less than two hours before sunrise, and Isha is at 7:15 PM, less than two hours after Maghrib.

Winter prayer times on 31 December 2026

On Thursday, 31 December 2026, the times are Fajr 7:57 AM, Sunrise 9:40 AM, Dhuhr 1:39 PM, Asr 3:53 PM, Maghrib 5:39 PM, and Isha 7:22 PM.

Fajr is at its latest in the year, 7:57 AM. After 31 December, Fajr starts to move earlier again, slowly, as the days start to lengthen. Maghrib also starts to move later again after the shortest day.

For the full day by day timetable, see the Next 30 Days Calgary Prayer Timetable, which updates automatically with the same ISNA and Hanafi Asr method.

Why winter prayer times in Calgary move so fast

Calgary sits at 51.0447 degrees north. In winter, the sun stays low in the sky, and the day shortens quickly. That is why Fajr moves later by about one minute a day in November, and Maghrib moves earlier by about one to two minutes a day.

Prayer times in Calgary are based on the position of the sun, so they follow that change directly. Fajr is set by the angle of the sun below the horizon, 15 degrees under ISNA. Isha is set the same way, 15 degrees. Asr is set by the length of a shadow, and under Hanafi Asr the shadow must be twice the length of the object, plus the noon shadow. That is why Hanafi Asr in Calgary in November is about thirty six minutes later than Shafi’i Asr.

There is no separate summer rule and no separate winter rule on this site. The same ISNA calculation runs all year. The times change because the sun changes, not because the method changes. If another site shows a different time, check its method first, because most differences come from the method, not from an error.

How to plan Fajr in winter in Calgary

Fajr in winter in Calgary is easier to catch than Fajr in summer, because it is late in the morning. On 9 November, Fajr is at 7:08 AM. On 31 December, Fajr is at 7:57 AM. That fits a normal work and school morning for many people.

Plan Fajr the night before. Set one alarm for Fajr, and keep wudu and prayer space ready. If you pray Fajr at home, pray it before sunrise, which is at 8:43 AM on 9 November and 9:40 AM on 31 December. If you go to a mosque for Fajr, check its iqama time, because mosques add a few minutes after the adhan time.

For a full guide to Fajr, see Fajr Time Calgary Guide.

How to plan Asr, Maghrib, and Isha in winter in Calgary

Asr, Maghrib, and Isha come close together in winter. On 9 November, Asr is at 4:10 PM, Maghrib at 5:57 PM, and Isha at 7:32 PM. On 21 December, Asr is at 3:46 PM, Maghrib at 5:32 PM, and Isha at 7:15 PM.

That short gap is the hardest part of winter prayer in Calgary. Maghrib is often during the drive home from work, and Isha comes soon after dinner. Plan for it. Know the Maghrib time before you leave work, and pray Maghrib as soon as you can after sunset. Do not wait until Isha to pray Maghrib, because the Maghrib window is short in winter.

Jumu’ah in winter in Calgary

Jumu’ah in Calgary replaces Dhuhr on Friday, and it is at the Dhuhr time. In winter, Dhuhr is at about 1:20 PM in November and 1:35 PM on 21 December. Most Calgary mosques hold Khutba and Jumu’ah in the early afternoon, and many hold two sessions.

Check the mosque before you go, because times change by mosque and by week. See Jummah Times Calgary for the verified Friday times for Calgary mosques, updated weekly.

Why another site shows a different winter prayer time

If another site shows a different winter prayer time for Calgary, it is usually because of the calculation method, not because one site is wrong.

You can also compare the times with IslamicFinder Calgary prayer times.

Common differences are the Fajr and Isha angle, 15 degrees under ISNA, 18 degrees under some other methods, and the Asr school, Hanafi or Shafi’i. Under Hanafi Asr, Asr is later. On 9 November, Shafi’i Asr is about 3:32 PM, and Hanafi Asr is 4:10 PM. That is a thirty eight minute difference, and it is normal.

Check the method first, then check the date, because winter times move every day. For how this site calculates times, see How Prayer Times Are Calculated.
