Accurate Islamic prayer times calculated using established astronomical methods
PrayerTimesNow is dedicated to providing accurate Islamic prayer times for Muslims across the United States. We understand the importance of performing Salah (prayers) at their prescribed times, and we strive to deliver precise calculations that Muslims can rely on.
Our service covers major cities throughout the US, helping Muslims maintain their daily prayer schedule with confidence and ease.
We use the adhan-js library, a high-precision Islamic prayer time calculation library developed by the team at Batoul Apps. This library implements established astronomical calculations to determine prayer times based on the position of the sun.
Our calculations follow the ISNA method, which is widely used and accepted in North America. The Islamic Society of North America has developed prayer time calculation parameters that are specifically designed for the North American continent.
