Prayer Times in Cambridge
Prayer times for Cambridge are calculated using the method of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a standard widely used across the United States and Canada. The city observes Eastern Time (America/New_York) and shifts to daylight saving time in the warmer months, so the clock times shown move forward by an hour during that period. At a northerly latitude of about 42 degrees, Cambridge has pronounced seasonal swings: summer brings early dawns and late sunsets that push Fajr and Isha far apart, while winter days are short, with a late Fajr and an early Maghrib. The qibla, the direction of prayer toward the Kaaba in Mecca, lies roughly to the northeast at a bearing of about 60 degrees from Cambridge. The live grid above reflects today's exact times.
Frequently Asked Questions About Prayer Times in Cambridge
What method is used to calculate prayer times in Cambridge?
The times on this page use the method of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a calculation standard commonly applied in the United States and Canada.

Why do Fajr and Isha times shift so much between summer and winter in Cambridge?
Cambridge lies at a northern latitude of about 42 degrees, which produces large seasonal differences in daylight.
