Prayer Times North Hollywood, CA Today

How Prayer Times in North Hollywood Change Through the Year

Prayer times in North Hollywood are set by the sun, so they move every single day. The biggest daily swing is at dawn. The earliest Fajr of 2026 in North Hollywood falls on 09 Jun 2026 at 4:17 AM, while the latest Fajr arrives on 08 Mar 2026 at 6:05 AM. That is a difference of 1 hour 48 minutes across the year, which is why a timetable printed in January cannot be reused in June. The swing is gentler than in the northern states because North Hollywood sits at 34.2 degrees north, where daylight stays steadier through the year.

Sunset moves even further. Maghrib in North Hollywood is earliest on 27 Nov 2026 at 4:44 PM and latest on 22 Jun 2026 at 8:09 PM, a shift of 3 hours 25 minutes. On the longest day of the year, 21 Jun 2026, the sun sets at 8:08 PM; on the shortest day, 21 Dec 2026, it sets at 4:48 PM.

For anyone fasting outside Ramadan, such as the Monday and Thursday fasts or the white days each month, the longest fast of 2026 in North Hollywood runs 15 hours 51 minutes on 18 Jun 2026, from Fajr at 4:17 AM to Maghrib at 8:08 PM. The shortest fast is 11 hours 7 minutes on 15 Dec 2026. Solar noon moves too: Dhuhr ranges from 11:37 AM in one part of the year to 1:04 PM in another, following the equation of time. Measured against the other 218 cities and neighbourhoods we track, that longest fast ranks 136 of 218.

How Each Prayer Time Is Calculated in North Hollywood

Prayer times follow the sun, so they shift a little every day. For North Hollywood, 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 (5:05 AM today)

True dawn, the first white light spreading sideways along the eastern horizon, opens the Fajr window. In North Hollywood today that moment is 5:05 AM. The window shuts at sunrise (6:15 AM); a Fajr prayed after that is qada, a missed prayer made up later. Because dawn in North Hollywood swings between 4:17 AM and 6:05 AM over the year, a fixed alarm time never works for long.

Dhuhr (11:37 AM 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 North Hollywood sits within the America/Los_Angeles zone, away from its central meridian: today Dhuhr in North Hollywood is 11:37 AM. On Fridays the Jummah congregation takes the place of Dhuhr.

Asr (2:37 PM today)

Asr begins when an object's shadow equals its height beyond the noon shadow. That standard rule (Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali) gives 2:37 PM in North Hollywood today. The Hanafi rule waits until the shadow is twice the height, which falls roughly 45 to 65 minutes later; use the calculation method selector at the top of this page to view Hanafi Asr. Finish Asr before the sun turns yellow and weak near the horizon.

Maghrib (4:58 PM today)

Maghrib's window opens at sunset, the instant the sun's disc drops fully out of sight: 4:58 PM today in North Hollywood. For someone fasting, this is iftar, and the Sunnah is to break the fast at once, with dates or water, before praying.

Isha (6:09 PM today) and the Last Third of the Night

When the red twilight has gone from the west, Isha begins: 6:09 PM tonight in North Hollywood. 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 North Hollywood.

Finding the Qibla Direction in North Hollywood (23.70° North-East)

Muslims pray facing the Kaaba in Mecca, and from North Hollywood that means facing 23.70° north-east from true north, measured the short way around the globe. The bearing comes from North Hollywood's position (34.2° N, 118.4° W) set against the Kaaba's (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E).

Daylight Saving Time in California: The Two Jump Days
