Prayer Times Colorado Springs, CO Today

How Prayer Times in Colorado Springs Change Through the Year

No two days in Colorado Springs start at quite the same time. Across 2026, the earliest dawn prayer falls on 13 Jun 2026 at 3:59 AM, while the latest falls on 31 Oct 2026 at 6:11 AM. Between those dates Fajr travels 2 hours 12 minutes, which is why this page recalculates the timetable daily instead of printing a fixed one. The swing is wide because Colorado Springs sits at 38.8 degrees north, far enough from the equator for the seasons to move the sun's path a long way.

The evening moves even more than the morning. The earliest Maghrib of the year in Colorado Springs is 4:37 PM on 03 Dec 2026; the latest is 8:29 PM on 26 Jun 2026, a shift of 3 hours 52 minutes. On the longest day, 21 Jun 2026, sunset holds until 8:28 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it comes at 4:41 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 Colorado Springs runs 16 hours 28 minutes on 16 Jun 2026, from Fajr at 3:59 AM to Maghrib at 8:27 PM. The shortest fast is 10 hours 46 minutes on 20 Dec 2026. Solar noon moves too: Dhuhr ranges from 11:43 AM in one part of the year to 1:10 PM in another, following the equation of time. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, that longest fast ranks 86 of 218.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Colorado Springs

Each prayer begins at a defined position of the sun, not at a fixed clock time. PrayerTimesUSA calculates the Colorado Springs timetable with the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method, the standard used by most mosques in the United States: Fajr and Isha at a sun angle of 15 degrees, Asr by the standard shadow rule, with the Hanafi Asr shown through the method selector. Today's Hijri date in Colorado Springs is 23 Jumādá al-ūlá 1448 (03 Nov 2026).

Fajr (5:14 AM today)

True dawn, the first white light spreading sideways along the eastern horizon, opens the Fajr window. In Colorado Springs today that moment is 5:14 AM. The window shuts at sunrise (6:29 AM); a Fajr prayed after that is qada, a missed prayer made up later. Because dawn in Colorado Springs swings between 3:59 AM and 6:11 AM over the year, a fixed alarm time never works for long.

Dhuhr (11:43 AM today)

The noon prayer begins once the sun has passed its peak. In Colorado Springs that works out to 11:43 AM today. Clock time and sun time differ here because Colorado Springs keeps America/Denver time from a position away from the zone's central meridian. On Fridays the congregational Jummah replaces Dhuhr.

Asr (2:35 PM today)

Asr begins when the afternoon shadow of an object equals its height, on top of the shadow it cast at noon. In Colorado Springs today that is 2:35 PM by the standard (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) rule. The Hanafi school waits for double the height, around 45 to 65 minutes later; the method selector above shows that time. Pray it before the sun weakens and yellows near the horizon.

Maghrib (4:56 PM today)

At 4:56 PM today in Colorado Springs, the sun sets and Maghrib begins. Its window is the shortest of the day, so it is prayed promptly. On fasting days this same moment is iftar: break the fast first, following the Sunnah, with dates or water.

Isha (6:11 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

Isha starts when the red afterglow fades from the western sky: 6:11 PM tonight in Colorado Springs. The middle of the Islamic night falls halfway between Maghrib and tomorrow's Fajr, and the last third of the night after that midpoint is the Tahajjud time.

Friday Jummah and Mosques in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Jummah, the Friday congregational prayer, replaces Dhuhr every week and is the largest regular gathering of Muslims in Colorado Springs. The mosque listed below serves Colorado Springs with its address, including Islamic Society of Colorado Springs. Each mosque sets its own khutbah time inside the Dhuhr window (Dhuhr today is 11:43 AM), so check the mosque's own notice board or website before you go, and arrive early: Friday parking fills fast.

These mosques also run weekend schools, community iftars in Ramadan and the five daily prayers in congregation. If a Colorado Springs mosque is missing here, contact us with its address and Jummah time and we will add it.

Finding the Qibla Direction in Colorado Springs (35.30° North-East)

Muslims pray facing the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Colorado Springs that means facing 35.30° north-east from true north, measured the short way around the globe. The bearing comes from Colorado Springs's position (38.8° N, 104.8° W) set against the Kaaba's (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). At about 7686 miles (12370 km), it is one of the longer qibla distances in the United States. It surprises many people that the direction is north-east rather than south-east: from North America, the shortest line to Mecca crosses the North Atlantic, not the Pacific.

At home or at work in Colorado Springs, 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 Colorado: The Two Jump Days

Twice a year in Colorado Springs, the clock moves and every prayer time jumps with it. When daylight saving time begins on 08 Mar 2026, Fajr moves from 5:10 AM to 6:08 AM in a single night, a shift of just under an hour, and Maghrib moves from 5:58 PM to 6:59 PM. When standard time returns on 01 Nov 2026, Fajr moves from 6:11 AM back to 5:12 AM, and sunset prayers come an hour earlier in the evening. Every time on this page already follows the America/Denver clock in force on that date, so no manual adjustment is ever needed.
