The app offers 14 methods if your community follows another. ## How are prayer times calculated for San Francisco? Prayer times are set by the sun, so they change through the year and from place to place. San Francisco lies at 37.8° north, and this page works out each time from that position using the ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) method. The Islamic day begins at sunset, with **Maghrib**. **Isha** follows when the last light has left the sky, taken here as the moment the sun is 15° below the horizon. **Fajr** starts with the first light of dawn, when the sun is 15° below the horizon before sunrise. **Dhuhr** begins once the sun has passed its highest point, when shadows are at their shortest; the method adds 1 minutes after solar noon as a margin. **Asr** is measured by shadow length. Most scholars, including the Shafi‘i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and Imam Abu Hanifa’s students Abu Yusuf and Muhammad, hold that Asr begins when an object’s shadow equals its own length (plus its midday shadow). Imam Abu Hanifa held that it begins when the shadow reaches twice the length. Both times are shown above; the Standard time is used in the week ahead. These are the times at which each prayer begins. Congregation (jamaat) times are set by each mosque and are usually a little later, and some mosques use a different method, so local timetables in San Francisco can differ by a few minutes. If your mosque publishes a timetable, follow it. > “Indeed, prayer is prescribed for the believers at specific times.” > > — Quran 4:103 · [Translation: Rowwad Translation Center, via QuranEnc](https://quranenc.com/en/browse/english_rwwad/4/103) ## Other cities in the United States - [San Jose](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/san-jose) - [Los Angeles](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/los-angeles) - [San Diego](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/san-diego) - [Phoenix](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/phoenix) - [Seattle](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/seattle) - [Dallas](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/dallas) - [Minneapolis](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/minneapolis) - [Houston](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/houston) - [Chicago](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/chicago) - [Dearborn](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/dearborn) - [Detroit](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/detroit) - [Columbus](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/columbus) - [Atlanta](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/atlanta) - [Buffalo](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/buffalo) - [Tampa](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/tampa) - [Raleigh](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/raleigh) - [Washington](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/washington-dc) - [Orlando](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/orlando) - [Baltimore](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/baltimore) - [Philadelphia](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/philadelphia) - [Paterson](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/paterson) - [Jersey City](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/jersey-city) - [New York](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/new-york) - [Boston](https://qiblatrue.com/prayer-times/united-states/boston)
