Prayer Times Fort Worth, TX Today

How Prayer Times in Fort Worth Change Through the Year

The sun runs Fort Worth's prayer clock, and it never keeps the same hours for long. Fajr reaches its earliest point of 2026 on 08 Jun 2026, at 4:59 AM, and its latest on 08 Mar 2026, at 6:41 AM: a swing of 1 hour 42 minutes between the two. A timetable printed in winter is out of date by summer. The swing is gentler than in the northern states because Fort Worth sits at 32.8 degrees north, where daylight stays steadier through the year.

Sunset moves even further. Maghrib in Fort Worth is earliest on 27 Nov 2026 at 5:23 PM and latest on 21 Jun 2026 at 8:41 PM, a shift of 3 hours 18 minutes. On the longest day of the year, 21 Jun 2026, the sun sets at 8:41 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it sets at 5:27 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 Fort Worth runs 15 hours 41 minutes on 17 Jun 2026, from Fajr at 4:59 AM to Maghrib at 8:40 PM. The shortest fast is 11 hours 13 minutes on 16 Dec 2026. Solar noon moves too: Dhuhr ranges from 12:13 PM in one part of the year to 1:40 PM in another, following the equation of time. 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.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Fort Worth

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

Fajr (5:40 AM today)

Fajr begins at true dawn, when the first white light spreads across the eastern horizon. In Fort Worth today that is 5:40 AM, and the window closes at sunrise (6:49 AM). A prayer offered after sunrise counts as missed (qada), so the Fajr alarm matters most in summer: dawn in Fort Worth ranges across the year from 4:59 AM at its earliest to 6:41 AM at its latest.

Dhuhr (12:13 PM today)

Dhuhr begins just after the sun passes its highest point and starts to descend. Clock noon and solar noon rarely match, because Fort Worth sits inside the America/Chicago zone rather than on its meridian, so Dhuhr today is 12:13 PM. On Fridays, Jummah replaces Dhuhr.

Asr (3:15 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 3:15 PM in Fort Worth 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 (5:36 PM today)

Maghrib begins at sunset, the instant the sun's disc slips fully below the horizon: today that is 5:36 PM in Fort Worth. 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 (6:46 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

Isha begins when the last red glow leaves the western sky: 6:46 PM tonight in Fort Worth. 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 Fort Worth is on our Tahajjud calculator.

Friday Jummah and Mosques in Fort Worth, Texas

Every Friday, Jummah replaces Dhuhr, and it is the largest weekly gathering of Muslims in Fort Worth.

Finding the Qibla Direction in Fort Worth (43.10° North-East)

Prayer is valid only when faced toward the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Fort Worth the shortest path over the Earth's surface, the great-circle route, points 43.10° north-east from true north. The bearing is calculated from Fort Worth's coordinates (32.8° N, 97.3° W) to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). At about 7746 miles (12466 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 Fort Worth, 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 Texas: The Two Jump Days

Twice a year in Fort Worth, 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 6:37 AM back to 5:38 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.
