Frequently asked questions
Which Asr time is highlighted for Des Moines?
Standard Asr, the earlier of the two options, is the one highlighted. A Hanafi Asr time is calculated as well and can be selected with the switch on the page. Which applies to you depends on your school, so check what your Des Moines masjid announces.
How much longer is a summer fast than a winter fast in Des Moines?
The longest fast is 16h 55m on 19 June, the shortest 10h 33m on 19 December. That is a difference of more than six hours. Both extremes arrive two days before their solstices, 21 June and 21 December.
When does Isha start earliest in Des Moines?
At 6:07 PM on 30 November, three weeks before the winter solstice on 21 December. After that date Isha begins a little later each evening through the rest of December, even while the days are still at their shortest.
How late does Isha start in a Des Moines summer?
At its latest, 10:35 PM on 20 June, one day before the summer solstice. Fajr is earliest at 3:57 AM on 14 June, which is why the night between the two prayers is so short.
