How Prayer Times in Dallas Change Through the Year

Prayer times in Dallas are set by the sun, so they move every single day. The biggest daily swing is at dawn. The earliest Fajr of 2026 in Dallas falls on 07 Jun 2026 at 4:57 AM, while the latest Fajr arrives on 08 Mar 2026 at 6:39 AM. That is a difference of 1 hour 42 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 Dallas sits at 32.8 degrees north, where daylight stays steadier through the year.

The evening moves even more than the morning. The earliest Maghrib of the year in Dallas is 5:21 PM on 27 Nov 2026; the latest is 8:39 PM on 22 Jun 2026, a shift of 3 hours 18 minutes. On the longest day, 21 Jun 2026, sunset holds until 8:38 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it comes at 5:25 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 Dallas runs 15 hours 41 minutes, on 18 Jun 2026, from a Fajr of 4:57 AM to a Maghrib of 8:38 PM; the shortest is just 11 hours 13 minutes on 16 Dec 2026. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, that longest fast sits near the gentle end of the table, ranked 181 of 218. Solar noon drifts as well: Dhuhr moves between 12:11 PM and 1:38 PM across the year, following the equation of time.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Dallas

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 Dallas 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 Dallas is 23 Jumādá al-ūlá 1448 (03 Nov 2026).

Fajr (5:37 AM today)

Fajr is the dawn prayer, and its time begins at true dawn, the first horizontal light in the east. Today in Dallas that is 5:37 AM. Pray it before sunrise (6:47 AM); after sunrise it counts as qada (missed). Through the year in Dallas, dawn moves between 4:57 AM and 6:39 AM, so the Fajr alarm needs resetting with the seasons.

Dhuhr (12:11 PM today)

Dhuhr begins just after the sun passes its highest point and starts to descend. Clock noon and solar noon rarely match, because Dallas sits inside the America/Chicago zone rather than on its meridian, so Dhuhr today is 12:11 PM. On Fridays, Jummah replaces Dhuhr.

Asr (3:13 PM today)

Under the standard rule used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools, Asr opens when a shadow stretches to the object's own length beyond the noon shadow. That gives 3:13 PM in Dallas today. Hanafi Asr, at twice the length, lands roughly 45 to 65 minutes later; flip the method selector at the top of the page to see it. The time to pray Asr runs out as the light yellows toward sunset.

Maghrib (5:34 PM today)

Maghrib begins at sunset, the instant the sun's disc slips fully below the horizon: today that is 5:34 PM in Dallas. On a fasting day this moment is iftar, and the Sunnah is to break the fast right away, with dates or water, and then pray Maghrib.

Isha (6:44 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

Isha begins when the red twilight leaves the western sky, at 6:44 PM tonight in Dallas. Islamic midnight is the midpoint between Maghrib and the next Fajr, and the last third of the night after it is the time of Tahajjud, the voluntary night prayer. Use our Tahajjud calculator to find tonight's last third for Dallas.

Friday Jummah and Mosques in Dallas, Texas

Jummah, the Friday congregational prayer, replaces Dhuhr every week and is the largest regular gathering of Muslims in Dallas. 5 mosques and Islamic centers in Dallas are listed below with their addresses, including Valley Ranch Islamic Center at 351 Ranchview Dr, Irving, TX 75063. East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC Masjid) publishes a Jummah time of Khutba 1:45 PM & 3:15 PM. Other mosques set their own khutbah times, so confirm before you travel.

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

Finding the Qibla Direction in Dallas (43.51° North-East)

Prayer is valid only when faced toward the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Dallas the shortest path over the Earth's surface, the great-circle route, points 43.51° north-east from true north. The bearing is calculated from Dallas's coordinates (32.8° N, 96.8° W) to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). At about 7724 miles (12430 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 Dallas, 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 Texas: The Two Jump Days

Twice a year in Dallas, the clock moves and every prayer time jumps with it. When daylight saving time begins on 08 Mar 2026, Fajr moves from 5:40 AM to 6:39 AM in a single night, a shift of just under an hour, and Maghrib moves from 6:29 PM to 7:30 PM. When standard time returns on 01 Nov 2026, Fajr moves from 6:35 AM back to 5:36 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.
