Tahajjud time, Islamic midnight and Duha in Chicago
Tonight's night prayer times and tomorrow morning's voluntary prayer times in Chicago, worked out from the same Maghrib and Fajr times as the table above.
- Islamic midnight
- 22:55Halfway between Maghrib and Fajr
- Last third of the night (Tahajjud)
- 01:03Until Fajr at 05:20
- Ishraq
- 06:54About 15 minutes after sunrise (06:39)
- Duha
- 06:54 – 11:36From Ishraq until Dhuhr (11:36)
Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 06:39), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 11:36) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:31). The schools differ in the details, for example about the time after Asr and about make-up prayers, so ask your own scholar if you are unsure.
The night is counted from Maghrib to the next Fajr. Times are calculated for Chicago with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Ramadan timetable for ChicagoChicago, the Sun and the clock
Chicago is in Illinois and has about 2,700,000 people. Chicago lies 2.3° east of the 90° W meridian that its time zone is based on, so the Sun is highest about 9 minutes before 12:00 on average, around 11:51, and Dhuhr comes earlier than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 12:51.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Chicago: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 72° above the horizon in June and only 25° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Chicago range from just 9h 8m in December to 15h 13m in June, a difference of 6h 5m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
The Muslim community in Chicago
Chicago has one of the largest and oldest Muslim communities in the United States. Because the census does not record religion, the numbers are estimates: WTTW, citing a 2013 report, puts the Chicago area at about 400,000 people, and counts of the mosques in the metropolitan area range from about 70 to more than 90 depending on the source. The community includes Arabs, South Asians, Bosnians, African Americans and many others, with Devon Avenue in the north of the city known as a South Asian commercial street with Indian, Pakistani and Bengali shops and restaurants, and Bridgeview in the south-west suburbs often called Little Palestine.
The Mosque Foundation in Bridgeview shows how a community grows. In 1954 a handful of Palestinian immigrants from Beitunia formed the Mosque Foundation of Chicago on the South Side, and the first prayer leader, Khalil Zayid, could not read or write English, so his daughter drove him from door to door to ask for donations, while the women raised money at bake sales. By the 1970s the founders could afford only an empty lot in Bridgeview, between a railway line and a trailer park, and newer immigrants raised 1.2 million dollars from Saudi charities. Building began in 1978 and the mosque opened in 1981 with a prayer hall for 300. A girls' school followed in 1986, a youth centre in 1996, a food pantry in 2005, a community centre in 2006 and a second major expansion in 2008, and the capacity is now listed as over 10,000 worshippers.
For prayer times, Chicago lies at 41.9 degrees north, and the clocks change in March and November. On this site's calculation the fast from Fajr to Maghrib in Chicago lasts about 17 hours on 21 June and 10 and a half hours on 21 December. Most mosques use the ISNA method with the Standard Asr time, and congregation times, which are set by each mosque, differ from the start times shown on this site.
