Prayer Times Ozone Park, NY Today

How Prayer Times in Ozone Park Change Through the Year

The sun runs Ozone Park's prayer clock, and it never keeps the same hours for long. Fajr reaches its earliest point of 2026 on 14 Jun 2026, at 3:44 AM, and its latest on 31 Oct 2026, at 6:08 AM: a swing of 2 hours 24 minutes between the two. A timetable printed in winter is out of date by summer. The swing is wide because Ozone Park sits at 40.7 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 Ozone Park is earliest on 02 Dec 2026 at 4:28 PM and latest on 25 Jun 2026 at 8:31 PM, a shift of 4 hours 3 minutes. On the longest day of the year, 21 Jun 2026, the sun sets at 8:30 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it sets at 4:31 PM.

Anyone who keeps the voluntary fasts, on Mondays and Thursdays or the white days of each month, feels the range most. The longest fast of 2026 in Ozone Park runs 16 hours 46 minutes, on 19 Jun 2026, from a Fajr of 3:44 AM to a Maghrib of 8:30 PM; the shortest is just 10 hours 37 minutes on 21 Dec 2026. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, that longest fast ranks 58 of 218. Solar noon drifts as well: Dhuhr moves between 11:39 AM and 1:06 PM across the year, following the equation of time.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Ozone Park

Why do the times on this page move a little every day? Because each of the five prayers begins at a set position of the sun. PrayerTimesUSA works out the Ozone Park schedule with the ISNA method used across most of North America: Fajr and Isha at 15 degrees of sun depression, Asr by the standard shadow rule, with the Hanafi Asr in the method selector above. The Hijri date today in Ozone Park is 23 Jumādá al-ūlá 1448 (03 Nov 2026).

Fajr (5:11 AM today)

Fajr is the dawn prayer, and its time begins at true dawn, the first horizontal light in the east. Today in Ozone Park that is 5:11 AM. Pray it before sunrise (6:28 AM); after sunrise it counts as qada (missed). Through the year in Ozone Park, dawn moves between 3:44 AM and 6:08 AM, so the Fajr alarm needs resetting with the seasons.

Dhuhr (11:39 AM today)

Dhuhr enters just after solar noon, the moment the sun stops climbing and starts down. Solar noon in Ozone Park is not 12:00 on the clock, because the city sits inside the America/New_York zone rather than on its meridian line: today it gives a Dhuhr of 11:39 AM. On Fridays, Jummah takes Dhuhr's place.

Asr (2:27 PM today)

The standard Asr rule (followed by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools) starts Asr when a shadow grows as long as the object itself, past the noon shadow: 2:27 PM in Ozone Park today. The Hanafi school uses twice the length, putting Asr roughly 45 to 65 minutes later; switch the method at the top of the page to see it. Pray Asr before the sunlight yellows late in the day.

Maghrib (4:49 PM today)

Maghrib's window opens at sunset, the instant the sun's disc drops fully out of sight: 4:49 PM today in Ozone Park. For someone fasting, this is iftar, and the Sunnah is to break the fast at once, with dates or water, before praying.

Isha (6:06 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

Isha starts when the red afterglow fades from the western sky: 6:06 PM tonight in Ozone Park. 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.

Finding the Qibla Direction in Ozone Park (58.59° North-East)

Muslims pray facing the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Ozone Park that means facing 58.59° north-east from true north, measured the short way around the globe. The bearing comes from Ozone Park's position (40.7° N, 73.8° W) set against the Kaaba's (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). At about 6398 miles (10297 km), that puts Ozone Park among the closer American places to Mecca. 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 Ozone Park, 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 New York: The Two Jump Days

Ozone Park 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 6:03 AM in one night, a shift of just under an hour, and Maghrib follows, from 5:53 PM to 6:55 PM. On 01 Nov 2026 the clocks fall back, and Fajr returns from 6:08 AM to 5:09 AM. Mosques in Ozone Park reset their iqamah boards on the same weekends. This page always follows the America/New_York time in force, so the times you see are already adjusted.
