Fajr prayer time today: by the city in the US

Prayer is an important daily activity for a Muslim, and is a vital part of starting the day with utmost spiritual discipline. It is important to know exactly when you are required to start your Fajr prayer, because it varies from city to city in the United States primarily due to the geolocation. If you are based in the US and are updating your prayer timing, it is good to stay informed about accurate prayer timing, to make sure you perfect your prayers every day and not lose the chance to pray Fajr on time before dawn.

Fajr Prayer Time Explained

Fajr is the first of the five daily prayers in Islam carried out at dawn before sunrise. The time for Fajr prayer starts at the first light of dawn and goes to just before sunrise. In the United States, Fajr prayer times differ from state to state and city to city; the differences can be attributed to the differences in latitude, longitude, and time zones. The further east the city, the earlier the time of Fajr will be. Knowing the time of Fajr for your city allows you to plan your day better while still following your religious practice.
