Prayer Times in Hamilton
Hamilton observes Eastern Time and switches between standard time (UTC-5) in winter and daylight saving time (UTC-4) in summer, so the clock times for each prayer shift when the clocks change as well as with the seasons. At roughly 43 degrees north the seasonal swing is pronounced: long summer days push Fajr into the early morning and Isha well into the evening, while short winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and group the prayers more closely together. Times on this page are calculated using the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method, which is widely used by mosques across Canada and the United States.
Ramadan in Hamilton
During Ramadan, the timing of the daily fast in Hamilton depends heavily on the season in which the month falls, because the city's northern latitude of about 43 degrees produces long summer days and short winter days. When Ramadan falls in summer, the pre-dawn Suhoor ends very early and the fast runs late into the evening until Maghrib; when it falls in winter, the fasting day is considerably shorter. The shift between standard time and daylight saving time can also affect the clock times during the month.
Mosques across Hamilton typically hold nightly Taraweeh prayers and community iftar gatherings during Ramadan. Because Suhoor and Iftar are tied to the daily Fajr and Maghrib times, worshippers should follow the current day's listed times, which are calculated for Hamilton using the ISNA method and the city's Eastern Time zone.
