Queens is one of the five boroughs of New York City and is coextensive with Queens County in the U.S. state of New York. With a population of around 2.23 million, it is the largest of the five boroughs by land area and sits near the western end of Long Island, bordered by the borough of Brooklyn and by Nassau County to its east. It also shares maritime borders with Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island, as well as with New Jersey.
Queens is renowned for its extraordinary diversity and is frequently cited as the most linguistically and ethnically diverse place in the world. That diversity is reflected in a large Muslim population drawn from communities across South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond, supported by mosques and Islamic centers spread throughout the borough's many neighborhoods.
Prayer Times in Queens
Queens follows Eastern Time, observing Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) in winter and shifting to Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4) in summer, so the clock times for each prayer move when the clocks change in spring and autumn. At about 41 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. Times on this page are calculated using the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method, widely used by mosques across the United States and Canada.
Ramadan in Queens
During Ramadan, Muslims across Queens observe the daily fast from Fajr until Maghrib. Because the borough lies at roughly 41 degrees north, the length of the fasting day depends heavily on where Ramadan falls in the year: when it occurs in summer the days are long and the fast extends well into the evening, while a winter Ramadan brings noticeably shorter fasting hours.
The suhoor (pre-dawn meal) ends at Fajr and the fast is broken at Maghrib, both of which shift gradually each day through the month and also depend on whether Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Time is in effect. Mosques and Islamic centers throughout Queens typically hold nightly Taraweeh prayers and community iftars, reflecting the borough's many distinct Muslim communities. Check this page daily for the current Fajr and Maghrib times during Ramadan.
