How the prayer times for Anchorage are calculated

Anchorage lies at 61.2181° N, 149.9003° W (Alaska, the US). The default is ISNA (North America): the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method with 15° for Fajr and Isha is widely used across the United States.

In summer the sun does not sink deep enough for the Fajr and Isha angles in Anchorage – on 110 nights between 28 April and 15 August. The one-seventh-of-the-night rule then applies; you can switch to “middle of the night” or “angle-based”.

The Qibla direction from Anchorage to Makkah is 350.9° (clockwise from north).
