Prayer Times in Montreal

Today's Fajr to Isha times and a printable month

For a single day, set Local date or keep Today at this location, then choose Calculate times. The result has six rows: Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. Sunrise is shown because it marks the end of the Fajr period. It is not a prayer. All times are rounded to the nearest minute.

To plan a whole month:

1. Set any date in the month you need.
2. Open Monthly timetable. It uses the same point, timezone and settings as the daily result.
3. Choose Print. This opens your browser's print dialogue, which may offer Save as PDF. The calculator has no separate download button.

Calculation details describes what produced the numbers: the profile, angles, Asr rule, twilight rule, rounding, offsets and timezone data. The date and location appear elsewhere in the calculator, so check both before you print. The FCNA Canada profile adds one minute to Dhuhr by design. This is separate from the six manual adjustments, which all start at zero.

If you look up another place with Search city presets, the calculator moves to that point and its clock. This page's explanations and examples still describe Montreal. Use Montreal centre again returns the Montreal point and timezone and keeps the date and settings you chose. Reset restores the Montreal defaults and today's date. For other cities, start from the main prayer times calculator.

Read ICQ daily columns beside Iqamah

The Islamic Centre of Quebec (ICQ) links its 2026 annual timetable from its prayer timetable page. Each day in the ICQ 2026 PDF has seven columns: Fajr, Snrse, Dhuhr, AsrS1, AsrS2, Mgrb and Isha. A separate Iqamah block covers a range of dates. The daily columns are start times. The Iqamah block shows when ICQ's congregation is scheduled.

4 November 2026: ICQ 2026 PDF beside this calculator

Settings for our column: Montreal centre point, America/Toronto clock (UTC−5 on that date), FCNA Canada 13/13, Standard Asr, Angle-based rule, zero manual adjustments, nearest-minute rounding. The ICQ figures are copied from that one day of the PDF. On the same date, the PDF also lists Snrse 06:38, Dhuhr 11:43 and Mgrb 16:40. The Iqamah block gives Dhuhr 13:15 and Maghrib at sunset.

• Fajr and Isha. ICQ's Fajr is 27 minutes earlier than our default, and its Isha is 30 minutes later. The PDF does not state its method, reference point or rounding. The gap tells you the two timetables are not interchangeable, but it does not reveal which method ICQ uses.
• Asr. AsrS1 is one minute from our Standard result. A close match on one day does not prove the methods are the same. AsrS2 is a second Asr column, labelled only "S2". The PDF gives no school-name legend for either label, so do not assume S1 and S2 correspond to our Standard and Hanafi options. Those options are explained in the next section.
• Iqamah. Congregation times are set by the centre for a range of dates, not calculated from the daily start. On 4 November the gaps were 61 minutes for Fajr and 71 minutes for Isha.

The diagram in this section shows a start column beside a congregation column, using a hypothetical 13:00 start and 13:20 congregation. These are illustrative times, not ICQ or Montreal figures. To attend prayers at ICQ, use the schedule the centre currently publishes. The table above is a dated example only.

Another schedule you may find is a hosted dashboard labelled Al-Madinah Center Montreal. It lists Azan and Iqama times separately for today and tomorrow and includes a Khutbah field. We have not independently verified who operates it or how its times are produced, so confirm the current schedule with the centre directly. For the general reasons sources disagree, see why prayer times differ.

Montreal summer twilight and Standard/Hanafi Asr

Two separate controls change different rows. Under the Angle-based twilight rule, Calculation profile sets the sun angles used for Fajr and Isha. Asr calculation changes only Asr. The examples table in this section lets you try each case with Load this example.

Fajr and Isha: the profile angle

The default FCNA Canada profile uses 13° for both Fajr and Isha. The source is a Fiqh Council of North America recommendation from a 2017 meeting, published in 2021. It suggested 13/13 for Canada and 15/15 for the USA and described both as approximations. A later FCNA article, published on 18 September 2024, discusses the limits of fixed angles, treats 15° as an approximation, and points to seasonal local observation and to following trusted local institutions. Neither source says one method has been adopted across Montreal. The default is a starting point you can change.

On 21 June 2026, FCNA Canada 13/13 gives Fajr 03:27 and Isha 22:25. The ISNA 15/15 profile gives Fajr 03:06 and Isha 22:46: Fajr is 21 minutes earlier and Isha 21 minutes later. Sunrise (05:06), Dhuhr (12:57), Asr (17:07) and Maghrib (20:47) are identical under both profiles.

Why a fixed offset does not work all year

Montreal's twilight lasts noticeably longer in June than in January, so a single fixed number of minutes after sunset or before sunrise cannot match an angle all year.

Twilight gaps on the sample dates (Angle-based rule)

In all four examples, Fajr and Isha are ordinary angle crossings: the sun does reach the chosen depth below the horizon, so no estimate is applied. For places where it does not, see prayer times at high latitudes.

Asr: shadow length including the noon shadow

With Standard, Asr begins when an object's shadow equals the object's length plus its noon shadow. With Hanafi, it begins when the shadow equals twice the object's length plus the noon shadow. The shadow demonstration here starts with a 1 metre object and a 0.25 metre noon shadow, giving totals of 1.25 m for Standard and 2.25 m for Hanafi. Moving Illustrative noon shadow (metres) changes both totals. The 0.25 m value is for teaching only. Montreal's real noon shadow is longer around January and shorter around June, which is why the rule adds it rather than using a fixed length.

On 21 June 2026 with FCNA Canada, Standard Asr is 17:07 and Hanafi Asr is 18:20, 73 minutes later. Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Maghrib and Isha are unchanged.

Planning for early Fajr and late Isha in summer

To see how early Fajr and how late Isha fall across June and July under your chosen settings, open the Monthly timetable for those months. To see the effect of a different profile, compare it on the same date. This page shows what each setting produces. It does not give advice on routines or religious rulings. The calculation methods guide explains each profile in more detail.

Montreal coordinates on the America/Toronto clock

The Montreal preset calculates for 45.5017, −73.5673 and displays times in the America/Toronto timezone. America/Toronto is the IANA name for a clock rule shared by places on Eastern Time. It does not move the calculation to Toronto. Sun positions are computed for the Montreal point, and the timezone only converts them to local clock time.

Quebec's government time-change page (updated 28 October 2024; reviewed 4 November 2026) states that Montreal observes Eastern Standard Time, UTC−5, and daylight time, UTC−4. Clocks go forward on the second Sunday of March and back on the first Sunday of November. In 2026 those dates were 8 March and 1 November. The same page lists parts of Quebec with exceptions, so this schedule does not apply to the whole province. For a place outside Montreal, select that place and check its timezone.

The clock change is built into the results. The 15 January 2026 example (Fajr 06:15) is on UTC−5, and the 21 June 2026 example (Fajr 03:27) is on UTC−4. In the March and November monthly timetables, the offset changes on the correct date. Do not add or subtract an hour yourself.

Planning from outside Montreal

The date belongs to the selected point. Today at this location means today in Montreal, and every row is in Montreal clock time, even if your device is set to Vancouver or Paris. If you are planning a trip, set the dates as they fall in Montreal, and no conversion is needed.

To calculate for where you are, choose Use my location or Enter coordinates instead. The page does not request location access when it loads. Your browser asks only when you choose Use my location. Either option clears the timezone, so select it under Timezone for this location before you Calculate times. A shared link for a device or manually entered point includes the coordinates and timezone, and it captures the settings as they were when you shared it.

Ramadan printing, source choice and Qibla

The Ramadan timetable lists Fajr and Maghrib for every day of a range you set:

• First fasting day: the Gregorian date of the first daytime fast as announced by the community you follow, not the evening before.
• Length of Ramadan: 29 or 30 days.
• Show timetable: generates the Fajr and Maghrib pairs using the current point and settings. No imsak buffer is added automatically.

This page does not announce when Ramadan begins. Montreal communities may start on different days, so use the first day your community announces and its current congregation instructions. For a mosque such as ICQ, that means the schedule the mosque itself publishes. The Islamic calendar page gives Hijri date background.

Copy timetable link copies a URL that contains your date range and settings, not the table itself, so anyone who opens it sees the timetable recalculated. Print timetable opens your browser's print dialogue. Reset clears the Ramadan range along with the other settings.

Qibla and nearby cities

Find Qibla uses whatever point the calculator currently holds. If you switched to your own location, the direction is calculated for that location. The Montreal Qibla guide covers the city's named reference point. If you are travelling within the region, Ottawa prayer times has its own guide and preset.
