Prayer Times Oklahoma City, OK Today

How Prayer Times in Oklahoma City Change Through the Year

Prayer times in Oklahoma City are set by the sun, so they move every single day. The biggest daily swing is at dawn. The earliest Fajr of 2026 in Oklahoma City falls on 14 Jun 2026 at 4:47 AM, while the latest Fajr arrives on 08 Mar 2026 at 6:41 AM. That is a difference of 1 hour 54 minutes across the year, which is why a timetable printed in January cannot be reused in June. The swing is gentler than in the northern states because Oklahoma City sits at 35.5 degrees north, where daylight stays steadier through the year.

The evening moves even more than the morning. The earliest Maghrib of the year in Oklahoma City is 5:17 PM on 30 Nov 2026; the latest is 8:49 PM on 21 Jun 2026, a shift of 3 hours 32 minutes. On the longest day, 21 Jun 2026, sunset holds until 8:49 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it comes at 5:21 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 Oklahoma City runs 16 hours 1 minutes on 21 Jun 2026, from Fajr at 4:48 AM to Maghrib at 8:49 PM. The shortest fast is 11 hours 1 minutes on 21 Dec 2026. Solar noon moves too: Dhuhr ranges from 12:14 PM in one part of the year to 1:41 PM in another, following the equation of time. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, that longest fast ranks 121 of 218.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Oklahoma City

Each prayer begins at a defined position of the sun, not at a fixed clock time. PrayerTimesUSA calculates the Oklahoma City 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 Oklahoma City is 23 Jumādá al-ūlá 1448 (03 Nov 2026).

Fajr (5:42 AM today)

True dawn, the first white light spreading sideways along the eastern horizon, opens the Fajr window. In Oklahoma City today that moment is 5:42 AM. The window shuts at sunrise (6:54 AM); a Fajr prayed after that is qada, a missed prayer made up later. Because dawn in Oklahoma City swings between 4:47 AM and 6:41 AM over the year, a fixed alarm time never works for long.

Dhuhr (12:14 PM 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 Oklahoma City sits within the America/Chicago zone, away from its central meridian: today Dhuhr in Oklahoma City is 12:14 PM. On Fridays the Jummah congregation takes the place of Dhuhr.

Asr (3:11 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 3:11 PM in Oklahoma City 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 (5:33 PM today)

Maghrib enters the moment the whole disc of the sun disappears below the horizon: 5:33 PM today in Oklahoma City. It is also the iftar moment on fasting days, and the Sunnah is to break the fast promptly with dates or water, then pray.

Isha (6:45 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

Isha begins when the last red glow leaves the western sky: 6:45 PM tonight in Oklahoma City. Halfway between Maghrib and the next Fajr falls Islamic midnight, and the last third of the night after it is set aside for Tahajjud, the voluntary night prayer. Tonight's last third for Oklahoma City is on our Tahajjud calculator.

Finding the Qibla Direction in Oklahoma City (42.24° North-East)

Prayer is valid only when faced toward the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Oklahoma City the shortest path over the Earth's surface, the great-circle route, points 42.24° north-east from true north. The bearing is calculated from Oklahoma City's coordinates (35.5° N, 97.5° W) to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). At about 7616 miles (12256 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.

To face the qibla at home or at work in Oklahoma City, 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 Oklahoma: The Two Jump Days

Twice a year in Oklahoma City, the clock moves and every prayer time jumps with it. When daylight saving time begins on 08 Mar 2026, Fajr moves from 5:42 AM to 6:41 AM in a single night, a shift of just under an hour, and Maghrib moves from 6:31 PM to 7:32 PM. When standard time returns on 01 Nov 2026, Fajr moves from 6:40 AM back to 5:41 AM, and sunset prayers come an hour earlier in the evening. Every time on this page already follows the America/Chicago clock in force on that date, so no manual adjustment is ever needed.
