Prayer times at South Nepean Muslim Community (SNMC)

Worked out from this masjid’s coordinates for today’s date. They are not South Nepean Muslim Community (SNMC)’s announced jamaa‘ah times — those are set by the masjid and usually differ. Check snmc.ca for the jamaa‘ah timetable.

Today

Calculated prayer times for South Nepean Muslim Community (SNMC), Ottawa, 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 South Nepean Muslim Community (SNMC)’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 (613) 440-6300.

What we haven’t confirmed

We could not establish: Ghusl for women, by women. 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.
