Tonight's night prayer times and tomorrow morning's voluntary prayer times in Houston, worked out from the same Maghrib and Fajr times as the table above.
Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 06:45), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:07) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 17:26). 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 Houston with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Across 2026, Fajr in Houston moves between 05:03 and 06:34, and Maghrib between 17:22 and 20:26. The longest fasting day, dawn to sunset, is 15h 22m on 19 June; the shortest is 11h 25m on 15 December.
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

Ramadan timetable for HoustonHouston is in Texas and has about 2,300,000 people. Houston lies 5.4° west of the 90° W meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 21 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:21, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:21.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Houston: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 84° above the horizon in June and only 37° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Houston range from 10h 14m in December to 14h 4m in June, a difference of 3h 50m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.
As of 2012 Houston had the largest Muslim population in Texas and in the southern United States, but the numbers are uncertain, because the census does not ask about religion. A 2012 estimate counted about 63,000 Muslims in the city, 1.2% of its population, while estimates for the wider metropolitan area range widely, from about 250,000 to 500,000 depending on the source. The community was predominantly Pakistani in origin in 2000, when over 70% of Houston's Muslims were of Pakistani origin, and today it includes South Asians, Arabs, Africans, Turks, Indonesians, African Americans and Latino converts. About 40,000 Ismailis lived in the area by 2020.
Houston's Muslim history started small. A group began meeting at a barber shop in the 1950s, which led to Masjid Al-Islam. The Islamic Society of Greater Houston (ISGH) became the main Sunni mosque system, and its largest mosque is Al-Noor; it also runs the Darul Arqam schools. Some counts list more than 200 mosques and storefront centres in the Houston area. Centro Islámico, the area's first Spanish-speaking mosque, opened in 2016. In civic life, M.J. Khan was elected in 2003 as the first Muslim on Houston City Council, and Yasar Bashir became the first Muslim assistant police chief in 2021.
For prayer times, Houston lies at 29.8 degrees north and has long, hot summers. On this site's calculation the fast from Fajr to Maghrib in Houston lasts about 15 and a half hours on 21 June and 11 and a half hours on 21 December. The clocks move forward in March and back in November, and most mosques use the ISNA method with the Standard Asr. Communities differ on the start of Ramadan and Eid, and each mosque sets its own congregation times.
