Prayer Times in Mississauga
Mississauga observes Eastern Time and shifts between standard time (UTC-5) and daylight saving time (UTC-4), so prayer schedules adjust both with the seasons and with the spring and autumn clock changes. At roughly 43.6°N the seasonal swing is wide: long summer days push Fajr very early and Isha well into the late evening, while short winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and shorten the gap between prayers. Times on this page are calculated using the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method, widely used across Canada and the United States.
Ramadan in Mississauga
Because Mississauga lies at about 43.6°N, the length of the fasting day during Ramadan depends heavily on where the month falls in the year. When Ramadan occurs in the summer, daylight hours are long, meaning an early pre-dawn Suhoor and a late-evening Iftar; when it falls in winter, the fast is considerably shorter, with Maghrib and Iftar arriving in the late afternoon.
Mississauga observes daylight saving time, so if a clock change falls within Ramadan the timing of Suhoor and Iftar will shift by an hour accordingly. Local mosques and Islamic centres across the city typically hold Taraweeh prayers through the month and may coordinate community Iftar gatherings, so it is worth confirming details with a mosque near you.
