Prayer Times Cheyenne, WY Today

How Prayer Times in Cheyenne Change Through the Year

No two days in Cheyenne start at quite the same time. Across 2026, the earliest dawn prayer falls on 13 Jun 2026 at 3:45 AM, while the latest falls on 31 Oct 2026 at 6:12 AM. Between those dates Fajr travels 2 hours 27 minutes, which is why this page recalculates the timetable daily instead of printing a fixed one. The swing is wide because Cheyenne sits at 41.1 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 Cheyenne is earliest on 06 Dec 2026 at 4:30 PM and latest on 22 Jun 2026 at 8:36 PM, a shift of 4 hours 6 minutes. On the longest day of the year, 21 Jun 2026, the sun sets at 8:35 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it sets at 4:34 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 Cheyenne runs 16 hours 50 minutes, on 18 Jun 2026, from a Fajr of 3:45 AM to a Maghrib of 8:35 PM; the shortest is just 10 hours 35 minutes on 18 Dec 2026. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, only 47 have a longer longest fast, which puts Cheyenne in the longest-fast quarter of the country. Solar noon drifts as well: Dhuhr moves between 11:43 AM and 1:10 PM across the year, following the equation of time.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in Cheyenne

Prayer times follow the sun, so they shift a little every day. For Cheyenne, this page uses the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method, the one most US mosques follow: a 15-degree sun angle for Fajr and Isha, the standard shadow rule for Asr, and the Hanafi Asr available in the method selector. Today, 03 Nov 2026, is 23 Jumādá al-ūlá 1448 on the Hijri calendar.

Fajr (5:15 AM today)

Fajr begins at true dawn, when the first white light spreads across the eastern horizon. In Cheyenne today that is 5:15 AM, and the window closes at sunrise (6:33 AM). A prayer offered after sunrise counts as missed (qada), so the Fajr alarm matters most in summer: dawn in Cheyenne ranges across the year from 3:45 AM at its earliest to 6:12 AM at its latest.

Dhuhr (11:43 AM today)

Dhuhr begins just after the sun passes its highest point and starts to descend. Clock noon and solar noon rarely match, because Cheyenne sits inside the America/Denver zone rather than on its meridian, so Dhuhr today is 11:43 AM. On Fridays, Jummah replaces Dhuhr.

Asr (2:30 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 2:30 PM in Cheyenne 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 (4:52 PM today)

At 4:52 PM today in Cheyenne, the sun sets and Maghrib begins. Its window is the shortest of the day, so it is prayed promptly. On fasting days this same moment is iftar: break the fast first, following the Sunnah, with dates or water.

Isha (6:10 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

When the red twilight has gone from the west, Isha begins: 6:10 PM tonight in Cheyenne. The night that follows is measured from Maghrib to Fajr; its last third, after Islamic midnight, is the Tahajjud time. Use the Tahajjud calculator to find tonight's last third in Cheyenne.

Friday Jummah and Mosques in Cheyenne, Wyoming

Every Friday, Jummah replaces Dhuhr, and it is the largest weekly gathering of Muslims in Cheyenne. The verified list below covers 2 mosques and Islamic centers in Cheyenne, with addresses, headed by Islamic Center of Cheyenne at 6005 Weaver Rd, Cheyenne, WY 82009. Each mosque sets its own khutbah time inside the Dhuhr window (Dhuhr today is 11:43 AM), so check the mosque's own notice board or website before you go, and arrive early: Friday parking fills fast.

Beyond Friday, expect daily congregational prayers, children's Quran classes and taraweeh in Ramadan at these centers. Mosque not listed? Send us the details and we will add it with its address and Jummah time.

Finding the Qibla Direction in Cheyenne (34.80° North-East)

Prayer is valid only when faced toward the Kaaba in Mecca, and from Cheyenne the shortest path over the Earth's surface, the great-circle route, points 34.80° north-east from true north. The bearing is calculated from Cheyenne's coordinates (41.1° N, 104.8° W) to the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Along that bearing, the Kaaba is about 7556 miles (12161 km) from Cheyenne in a straight line over the Earth's curved surface. 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 Cheyenne, 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 Wyoming: The Two Jump Days

Twice a year in Cheyenne, the clock moves and every prayer time jumps with it. When daylight saving time begins on 08 Mar 2026, Fajr moves from 5:09 AM to 6:07 AM in a single night, a shift of just under an hour, and Maghrib moves from 5:57 PM to 6:58 PM. When standard time returns on 01 Nov 2026, Fajr moves from 6:12 AM back to 5:13 AM, and sunset prayers come an hour earlier in the evening. Every time on this page already follows the America/Denver clock in force on that date, so no manual adjustment is ever needed.
