Prayer Times Garland, TX Today

How Prayer Times in Garland Change Through the Year

No two days in Garland start at quite the same time. Across 2026, the earliest dawn prayer falls on 12 Jun 2026 at 4:55 AM, while the latest falls on 08 Mar 2026 at 6:38 AM. Between those dates Fajr travels 1 hour 43 minutes, which is why this page recalculates the timetable daily instead of printing a fixed one. The swing is gentler than in the northern states because Garland sits at 32.9 degrees north, where daylight stays steadier through the year.

The evening moves even more than the morning. The earliest Maghrib of the year in Garland is 5:20 PM on 27 Nov 2026; the latest is 8:39 PM on 23 Jun 2026, a shift of 3 hours 19 minutes. On the longest day, 21 Jun 2026, sunset holds until 8:38 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it comes at 5:24 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 Garland runs 15 hours 42 minutes, on 15 Jun 2026, from a Fajr of 4:55 AM to a Maghrib of 8:37 PM; the shortest is just 11 hours 12 minutes on 17 Dec 2026. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, that longest fast sits near the gentle end of the table, ranked 177 of 218. Solar noon drifts as well: Dhuhr moves between 12:10 PM and 1:37 PM across the year, following the equation of time.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Garland

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

Fajr (5:37 AM today)

Fajr is prayed at dawn, when light first appears across the horizon before sunrise. Today in Garland it begins at 5:37 AM and must be finished by sunrise (6:46 AM). Across the year, Garland's dawn moves from 4:55 AM at the earliest to 6:38 AM at the latest, so regular worshippers reset their Fajr alarm every few weeks.

Dhuhr (12:10 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 Garland sits within the America/Chicago zone, away from its central meridian: today Dhuhr in Garland is 12:10 PM. On Fridays the Jummah congregation takes the place of Dhuhr.

Asr (3:12 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 3:12 PM in Garland 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 (5:33 PM today)

Maghrib begins at sunset, the instant the sun's disc slips fully below the horizon: today that is 5:33 PM in Garland. 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 (6:43 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

Isha begins when the red twilight leaves the western sky, at 6:43 PM tonight in Garland. 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 Garland.

Friday Jummah and Mosques in Garland, Texas

Every Friday, Jummah replaces Dhuhr, and it is the largest weekly gathering of Muslims in Garland. The verified list below covers 2 mosques and Islamic centers in Garland, with addresses, headed by Makkah Masjid (Garland Mosque) at 3301 W Buckingham Rd, Garland, TX 75042.

Finding the Qibla Direction in Garland (43.60° North-East)

Muslims pray facing the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Garland that means facing 43.60° north-east from true north, measured the short way around the globe. The bearing comes from Garland's position (32.9° N, 96.6° W) set against the Kaaba's (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). At about 7711 miles (12409 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 Garland, 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 Garland, the clock moves and every prayer time jumps with it. When daylight saving time begins on 08 Mar 2026, Fajr moves from 5:39 AM to 6:38 AM in a single night, a shift of just under an hour, and Maghrib moves from 6:29 PM to 7:29 PM. When standard time returns on 01 Nov 2026, Fajr moves from 6:35 AM back to 5:35 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.
