Prayer Times in Clifton
Prayer times for Clifton are calculated using the method of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the convention widely followed by mosques across the United States and Canada. The city lies on the America/New_York time zone and observes daylight saving time, so the displayed clock times shift by an hour in spring and autumn; the underlying solar timings adjust automatically. At Clifton's mid-northern latitude of about 41 degrees, the length of the day varies noticeably across the year, with long daylight hours in summer that push Fajr early and Isha late, and short winter days that bring the prayers closer together. The qibla, the direction of prayer toward the Kaaba in Mecca, lies at roughly 58 degrees from true north, that is, toward the northeast.
