Prayer times at Al-Salam Centre (MAC Calgary)

Worked out from this masjid’s coordinates for today’s date. They are not Al-Salam Centre (MAC Calgary)’s announced jamaa‘ah times — those are set by the masjid and usually differ. Check centres.macnet.ca for the jamaa‘ah timetable.

Today

Calculated prayer times for Al-Salam Centre (MAC Calgary), Calgary, for today’s date.
PrayerBegins
FajrDawn — ends at sunrise
SunriseFajr ends; no prayer at this moment
DhuhrJust after the sun crosses the meridian
AsrSet by the shadow ratio you choose below
MaghribAt sunset
IshaNightfall

These are calculated times, not Al-Salam Centre (MAC Calgary)’s jamaa‘ah times. They are worked out in your browser from this masjid’s own coordinates and today’s date, using the ISNA convention — the same arithmetic a printed timetable uses. What a masjid announces is something else: iqamah is set by the masjid, usually a chosen number of minutes after the prayer begins, and many hold it at a fixed clock time for weeks at a stretch. So the two will not match, and they are not meant to. For the times the congregation actually prays, check the masjid’s own site or phone (403) 451-8861.

Jumu’ah

Centre 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm; MAC Islamic School 1:30 pm; Marlborough Community Association 1:30 pm

Janazah & burial services

The Muslim Association of Canada's Calgary centre, in Ranchlands NW. Formerly at alsalamcentre.ca, which now redirects to MAC's centres site. Hosts MAC Islamic School's Ranchlands campus, the Al-Salam Academy weekend school and MAC Youth at the same address. Phone published as (403) 451-8861 ext. 5. JANAZAH RE-CHECKED 2026-08-16: the sub-site's full page list was enumerated (36 pages) and its WordPress search API queried for 'funeral', 'janazah', 'janaza', 'burial' and 'ghusl' - all returned zero results, as did the same queries against MAC's national site macnet.ca. The centre's own Facebook page (MACCalgary) carries no janazah information and publishes no phone number. The organisation is silent on funerals rather than declaring it does not provide them, so all janazah fields stay null (not confirmed). A human should call to establish whether janazah prayers or ghusl are available, and note that in Calgary janazah is commonly handled by dedicated city-wide providers rather than by individual MAC centres - that should be confirmed, not assumed.

Each line below is either confirmed from the organisation’s own material or marked as not confirmed. We publish the gaps rather than guess at them.

About Al-Salam Centre (MAC Calgary)

MAC's own facility page states: 'By the Grace and Will of Allah and the generous support of the community, MAC Calgary purchased Al-Salam Centre in September 2016. The center is located in the lively and well-served NW Calgary community of Ranchlands.' The centre has no charity registration of its own; the number recorded is the parent body's - MUSLIM ASSOCIATION OF CANADA, 880495163RR0001, registered effective 1999-01-01, Mississauga ON - seventeen years before this centre was bought. Al-Salam runs Friday prayers at three separate venues, which is a measure of how far it has outgrown the building.

What we haven’t confirmed

We could not establish: On-site mortuary, Cold storage, Ghusl facility, Ghusl for women, by women, Kafan (shroud), Transport of the deceased and more. Those are published as gaps rather than filled with a plausible guess. If you know the answer — especially if you are from this organisation — tell us and we will verify and update the listing.

Planning ahead, rather than in a crisis?

The two things a funeral coordinator asks a family for are the burial wishes and the will. Recording where your will is kept and working out the inheritance shares now spares your family both questions at the worst possible moment.
