Prayer Times Glendale, CA Today

How Prayer Times in Glendale Change Through the Year

No two days in Glendale start at quite the same time. Across 2026, the earliest dawn prayer falls on 14 Jun 2026 at 4:16 AM, while the latest falls on 08 Mar 2026 at 6:04 AM. Between those dates Fajr travels 1 hour 48 minutes, which is why this page recalculates the timetable daily instead of printing a fixed one. The swing is gentler than in the northern states because Glendale sits at 34.1 degrees north, where daylight stays steadier through the year.

Sunset moves even further. Maghrib in Glendale is earliest on 30 Nov 2026 at 4:43 PM and latest on 25 Jun 2026 at 8:09 PM, a shift of 3 hours 26 minutes. On the longest day of the year, 21 Jun 2026, the sun sets at 8:08 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it sets at 4:48 PM.

For anyone fasting outside Ramadan, such as the Monday and Thursday fasts or the white days each month, the longest fast of 2026 in Glendale runs 15 hours 51 minutes on 20 Jun 2026, from Fajr at 4:17 AM to Maghrib at 8:08 PM. The shortest fast is 11 hours 7 minutes on 16 Dec 2026. Solar noon moves too: Dhuhr ranges from 11:37 AM in one part of the year to 1:04 PM in another, following the equation of time. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, that longest fast ranks 136 of 218.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Glendale

The Glendale timetable on this page is calculated with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method, the convention followed by most mosques in the United States. It sets Fajr and Isha by a 15-degree depression angle of the sun, and Asr by the standard shadow rule; the Hanafi Asr is one tap away in the method selector. Each prayer is tied to a position of the sun, never to a fixed clock time. Today, 03 Nov 2026, is 23 Jumādá al-ūlá 1448.

Fajr (5:04 AM today)

Fajr is prayed at dawn, when light first appears across the horizon before sunrise. Today in Glendale it begins at 5:04 AM and must be finished by sunrise (6:15 AM). Across the year, Glendale's dawn moves from 4:16 AM at the earliest to 6:04 AM at the latest, so regular worshippers reset their Fajr alarm every few weeks.

Dhuhr (11:37 AM today)

Dhuhr starts once the sun has crossed its peak and begun to decline. Solar noon is not the same as 12:00 on the clock, because Glendale sits within the America/Los_Angeles zone, away from its central meridian: today Dhuhr in Glendale is 11:37 AM. On Fridays the Jummah congregation takes the place of Dhuhr.

Asr (2:36 PM today)

Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its height beyond the noon shadow. That standard rule (Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali) gives 2:36 PM in Glendale today. The Hanafi rule waits until the shadow is twice the height, which falls roughly 45 to 65 minutes later; use the calculation method selector at the top of this page to view Hanafi Asr. Finish Asr before the sun turns yellow and weak near the horizon.

Maghrib (4:58 PM today)

Maghrib's window opens at sunset, the instant the sun's disc drops fully out of sight: 4:58 PM today in Glendale. For someone fasting, this is iftar, and the Sunnah is to break the fast at once, with dates or water, before praying.

Isha (6:08 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

When the red twilight has gone from the west, Isha begins: 6:08 PM tonight in Glendale. The night that follows is measured from Maghrib to Fajr; its last third, after Islamic midnight, is the Tahajjud time. Use the Tahajjud calculator to find tonight's last third in Glendale.

Finding the Qibla Direction in Glendale (23.82° North-East)

Prayer is valid only when faced toward the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Glendale the shortest path over the Earth's surface, the great-circle route, points 23.82° north-east from true north. The bearing is calculated from Glendale's coordinates (34.1° N, 118.3° W) to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). At about 8336 miles (13416 km), it is one of the longer qibla distances in the United States. From Glendale, the great-circle line heads across Canada and the North Atlantic before descending toward Arabia.

At home or at work in Glendale, the Qibla Compass on your phone reads the bearing directly. Calibrate it with a slow figure-eight motion, and keep it clear of metal furniture and electronics that drag the needle. Inside a mosque, the mihrab already marks the direction.

Daylight Saving Time in California: The Two Jump Days

Glendale moves its clocks twice a year, and the prayer timetable jumps with them. Daylight saving begins on 08 Mar 2026: Fajr leaps from 5:05 AM to 6:04 AM in one night, a shift of just under an hour, and Maghrib follows, from 5:54 PM to 6:55 PM. On 01 Nov 2026 the clocks fall back, and Fajr returns from 6:02 AM to 5:03 AM. Mosques in Glendale reset their iqamah boards on the same weekends. This page always follows the America/Los_Angeles time in force, so the times you see are already adjusted.
