Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 06:51), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 11:55) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:56). 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 North Potomac with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

8 March, 1 NovemberAmerica/New_York

Clocks change on 8 March and 1 November. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. How times are calculated

North Potomac, the Sun and the clock

North Potomac is in Maryland and has about 24,000 people. The nearest larger city is Gaithersburg, 9 km to the northeast. North Potomac lies 2.3° west of the 75° W meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 9 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:09, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:09.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in North Potomac: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 74° above the horizon in June and only 27° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in North Potomac range from 9h 25m in December to 14h 55m in June, a difference of 5h 30m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.

Maghrib time North Potomac compared with nearby cities
