About prayer times in Philadelphia
These are the five daily prayer (namaz) times for Philadelphia, United States - Fajr at dawn, Dhuhr at midday, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib just after sunset and Isha at night. Each azan (adhan) is called at the start of these times, and the five together are called salah (salat).
Philadelphia's times are calculated from the sun's position for the city's coordinates (39.9526, -75.1652) each day, in the America/New_York timezone, using the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method - common across the United States and Canada. Because the calculation follows the sun, the exact minutes change a little every day. The Asr time shown uses the standard (Shafi) position; communities following the Hanafi school pray Asr later. For the precise start of Fajr and Isha, where twilight is gradual, follow your local Philadelphia mosque.
