Prayer Times Blaine, MN Today

How Prayer Times in Blaine Change Through the Year

No two days in Blaine start at quite the same time. Across 2026, the earliest dawn prayer falls on 16 Jun 2026 at 3:27 AM, while the latest falls on 31 Oct 2026 at 6:28 AM. Between those dates Fajr travels 3 hours 1 minutes, which is why this page recalculates the timetable daily instead of printing a fixed one. The swing is wide because Blaine sits at 45.2 degrees north, far enough from the equator for the seasons to move the sun's path a long way.

Sunset moves even further. Maghrib in Blaine is earliest on 03 Dec 2026 at 4:31 PM and latest on 20 Jun 2026 at 9:04 PM, a shift of 4 hours 33 minutes. On the longest day of the year, 21 Jun 2026, the sun sets at 9:04 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it sets at 4:33 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 Blaine runs 17 hours 36 minutes on 17 Jun 2026, from Fajr at 3:27 AM to Maghrib at 9:03 PM. The shortest fast is 10 hours 14 minutes on 20 Dec 2026. Solar noon moves too: Dhuhr ranges from 11:56 AM in one part of the year to 1:24 PM in another, following the equation of time. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, that is one of the ten longest fasting days in the United States: only 9 places fast longer at midsummer.

At the height of summer the night almost disappears. Isha does not arrive until 11:02 PM on 21 Jun 2026, and the next Fajr follows only about 4 hours 25 minutes later. Worshippers in Blaine guard their sleep through June and July, and some mosques adjust or combine the summer night prayers, so check your mosque's board in midsummer.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Blaine

The Blaine 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 (5:32 AM today)

Fajr is prayed at dawn, when light first appears across the horizon before sunrise. Today in Blaine it begins at 5:32 AM and must be finished by sunrise (6:55 AM). Across the year, Blaine's dawn moves from 3:27 AM at the earliest to 6:28 AM at the latest, so regular worshippers reset their Fajr alarm every few weeks.

Dhuhr (11:56 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 Blaine sits within the America/Chicago zone, away from its central meridian: today Dhuhr in Blaine is 11:56 AM. On Fridays the Jummah congregation takes the place of Dhuhr.

Asr (2:34 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 2:34 PM in Blaine 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 Blaine. For someone fasting, this is iftar, and the Sunnah is to break the fast at once, with dates or water, before praying.

Isha (6:21 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

Isha starts when the red afterglow fades from the western sky: 6:21 PM tonight in Blaine. 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 Blaine, Minnesota

Every Friday, Jummah replaces Dhuhr, and it is the largest weekly gathering of Muslims in Blaine. The verified mosque below serves Blaine, with its address, headed by Blaine Islamic Center. Each mosque sets its own khutbah time inside the Dhuhr window (Dhuhr today is 11:56 AM), so check the mosque's own notice board or website before you go, and arrive early: Friday parking fills fast.

Most mosques in Blaine also hold the five daily prayers in congregation, Quran classes for children, and taraweeh through Ramadan. If your mosque in Blaine is missing from the list, contact us and we will add it with its address and Jummah time.

Finding the Qibla Direction in Blaine (43.84° North-East)

Muslims pray facing the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Blaine that means facing 43.84° north-east from true north, measured the short way around the globe. The bearing comes from Blaine's position (45.2° N, 93.2° W) set against the Kaaba's (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Along that bearing, the Kaaba is about 6972 miles (11220 km) from Blaine in a straight line over the Earth's curved surface. 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.

To face the qibla at home or at work in Blaine, open the Qibla Compass on your phone, calibrate it with a slow figure-eight motion, and keep it away from metal furniture and electrical equipment that pull the needle. In a mosque, the mihrab already marks the direction.

Daylight Saving Time in Minnesota: The Two Jump Days

Blaine moves its clocks twice a year, and the prayer timetable jumps with them. Daylight saving begins on 08 Mar 2026: Fajr leaps from 5:19 AM to 6:18 AM in one night, a shift of just under an hour, and Maghrib follows, from 6:08 PM to 7:10 PM. On 01 Nov 2026 the clocks fall back, and Fajr returns from 6:28 AM to 5:29 AM. Mosques in Blaine reset their iqamah boards on the same weekends. This page always follows the America/Chicago time in force, so the times you see are already adjusted.
