Prayer Times in Dallas

Common questions

What time is Fajr in Dallas?

Fajr in Dallas moves through the year with the sun — earliest around midsummer, latest in midwinter. Across the 13 months this page covers it falls between 04:57 and 06:35 local time. The month tables give the exact time for every date.

What time is Maghrib in Dallas?

Maghrib in Dallas is sunset, so it moves with the season: across the 13 months on this page it falls between 17:21 and 20:39 local time. The month tables give the exact time for every date.

When does the last third of the night begin in Dallas?

It begins two-thirds of the way from Maghrib to the next Fajr, so it moves with the length of the night. In Dallas it falls between 01:36 and 02:51 local time across the 13 months this page covers, and Islamic midnight falls between 23:36 and 01:02. The month tables give both for every night.

Which calculation method is used for Dallas?

These times use the Islamic Society of North America method, which is the convention in this region. You can change the method on the prayer times page.

Why do prayer times differ between websites?

Nearly all of the difference comes from the angle each authority uses for Fajr and Isha. These times use the Islamic Society of North America method. In Dallas that matters by a measurable amount: a site using the Egyptian method gives a Fajr 21 to 30 minutes earlier, and one using the Umm al-Qura method gives one 17 to 23 minutes earlier. A few minutes of variation between sources is normal; a difference of this size means a different method, not an error.

Are these times exact?

They are computed astronomically for 32.7767°, -96.797° and are accurate to the minute at that point. The sun crosses 15° of longitude an hour, so moving 10 km east or west inside Dallas shifts every time by about 26 seconds — one timetable therefore holds across the whole city. Local altitude has a smaller effect, on sunrise and sunset.
