What Are the 5 Daily Prayer Times in Nashville?
Nashville Muslims observe 5 daily Salah prayers, each tied to the position of the sun over Nashville, Tennessee. The 5 Nashville salat times are:
1. Fajr — 5:06 AM (Nashville Fajr Precise Timing) Fajr is the pre-dawn prayer performed before sunrise. In Nashville, TN, the Fajr prayer time today falls at 5:06 AM — approximately 1 hour and 11 minutes before the 6:17 AM sunrise. Fajr marks the beginning of the Islamic prayer day, and Muslims in Nashville who observe Fajr typically rise before this window for preparation (Wudu) and the Azan.
2. Sunrise — 6:17 AM Sunrise is not a prayer itself but marks the end of the Fajr prayer window. In Nashville City, sunrise occurs at 6:17 AM today. The daily prayer schedule for Muslims in Nashville treats sunrise as a boundary — no Fajr prayer is valid after the sun clears the horizon.
3. Dhuhr — 11:59 AM (Dhuhr Time Work Hours) Dhuhr is the midday prayer performed after the sun passes its zenith. In Nashville, TN, the Dhuhr prayer time today is 11:59 AM — right at noon, which frequently overlaps with standard work lunch hours. Many Muslims in the Nashville community schedule Dhuhr prayer during a lunch break, and several Nashville workplaces accommodate this with a designated prayer space.
4. Asr — 3:13 PM (Asr Prayer Golden Hour) Asr is the afternoon prayer. Nashville Asr time today is 3:13 PM, falling in what many Muslims describe as the “golden hour” of the afternoon — a time of personal reflection and spiritual grounding. Asr marks the midpoint of the second half of the Islamic prayer day in Nashville.
5. Maghrib — 5:42 PM (Maghrib Break Fast Time) Maghrib is the sunset prayer performed when the sun fully sets below the horizon. Nashville Maghrib time today is 5:42 PM. During Ramadan 2026, Maghrib carries extra significance — it marks the moment Muslims in Nashville break their daily fast (Iftar). The Ramadan Calendar 2026 for Nashville tracks Maghrib/Iftar times throughout the month.
6. Isha — 6:53 PM (Isha Prayer Music City) Isha is the night prayer, performed after full darkness has settled over Nashville. Nashville Isha time today is 6:53 PM — approximately 1 hour and 11 minutes after Maghrib. Isha is the final Salah of the Islamic prayer day in Nashville, TN and concludes the daily Namaz timetable.

Nashville Ramadan Prayer Times 2026
Ramadan 2026 in Nashville, TN begins on approximately February 17, 2026, subject to moon sighting confirmation. The Ramadan Calendar 2026 for Nashville follows the same 5 daily Salat schedule, with 2 additional prayer times holding special significance during the holy month:
Suhoor (Pre-Dawn Meal Cutoff): Muslims in Nashville stop eating before Fajr Azan time each day. The Fajr time in Nashville during Ramadan 2026 ranges from approximately 5:30 AM to 6:00 AM depending on the date.
Iftar (Fast Breaking): Nashville Muslims break the Ramadan fast at Maghrib time each evening. During Ramadan 2026, Nashville Maghrib time runs from approximately 5:40 PM to 6:30 PM as the days lengthen through February and March.
The Athan App and PrayerBook both offer Ramadan Calendar 2026 specific views for Nashville prayer times, with Suhoor and Iftar times listed daily. I’ve heard from multiple Muslim friends in Nashville that the Athan App sends Azan notifications timed to Nashville’s coordinates — which is practical for anyone balancing Ramadan prayer times with a standard Nashville work schedule.

How Nashville Prayer Times Are Calculated
Nashville prayer times are calculated using 4 primary inputs: geographic coordinates, solar position data, calculation method, and the Islamic jurisprudence school (Madhab) for Asr.
The 4 inputs that determine the Nashville Salat schedule are:
- Nashville Coordinates: 36.1627° N, 86.7816° W
- Calculation Method: The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) method is most widely used by Nashville mosques and Islamic centers, including ICT
- Asr Jurisprudence: Hanafi school sets Asr later than Shafi’i/Maliki/Hanbali schools — a difference of approximately 30–45 minutes in Nashville’s Asr time depending on the season
- Time Zone: America/Chicago (CST UTC-6 in winter, CDT UTC-5 in summer)
Different prayer apps may show slightly different Nashville prayer times based on which calculation method they use. The Athan App, PrayerBook, and IslamicFinder all offer Nashville-specific prayer schedules with the option to select calculation method. Cross-referencing with the Islamic Center of Tennessee (ICT) Jamaat schedule gives the most locally accurate time for community prayer.
Best Apps for Nashville Prayer Times
3 apps provide the most accurate Nashville azan time and daily prayer schedules:
1. Athan App Athan App uses Nashville’s GPS coordinates to generate precise daily prayer times. The app sends Adhan notification in silent mode options, which multiple Nashville Muslims I’ve spoken with use during work hours so the Azan doesn’t disrupt meetings. The app also carries the Ramadan Calendar 2026 for Nashville with daily Suhoor and Iftar times.
2. PrayerBook PrayerBook offers a clean Nashville prayer schedule view with monthly Salah timetable displays. The Qibla direction for Nashville (approximately 53° northeast) is built into the app, which is useful for Muslims praying outside of a masjid setting in Nashville City.
3. IslamicFinder IslamicFinder provides the Nashville namaz timetable alongside Hijri date conversion, Islamic Calendar 2026 integration, and the full Nashville prayer timetable exportable by month. The platform also lists Nashville mosque prayer times for the Islamic Center of Tennessee and other Nashville area masjids.

Nashville Prayer Times vs. Nearby Tennessee Cities
Nashville prayer times differ from other Tennessee cities based on each city’s longitude and latitude. The table below shows today’s Fajr and Maghrib times across 4 Tennessee cities for comparison:
| City | Fajr | Maghrib |
|---|---|---|
| Nashville, TN | 5:06 AM | 5:42 PM |
| Memphis, TN | 5:19 AM | 5:52 PM |

Knoxville and Chattanooga operate on Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC-5), which accounts for the 1-hour clock difference from Nashville’s Central time.
Tips for Observing Nashville Prayer Times in Daily Life
As someone who lives in Nashville and has friends who observe all 5 daily prayers, I’ve noticed a few practical things about fitting the Nashville prayer schedule into a standard Nashville workday:
Dhuhr prayer and Nashville work schedules: The 11:59 AM Dhuhr time aligns directly with most Nashville lunch breaks. Muslims observing the Dhuhr prayer during work hours typically need 10–15 minutes for Wudu and Salah — a standard lunch break accommodates this.
Asr prayer at 3:13 PM: Asr falls during Nashville’s standard work afternoon hours. Several Nashville employers have designated prayer time work schedule accommodations. The prayer itself takes approximately 5–7 minutes for 4 Rakaat.
Maghrib at 5:42 PM: Maghrib falls just after most standard Nashville workday endings, which makes this the most consistently observed community prayer for Nashville Muslims who commute.
Adhan notification silent mode: The Athan App’s silent Adhan notification feature is widely used by Nashville Muslims during prayer time work schedule hours — the app vibrates rather than broadcasting the full Azan call.
A Note From Me on This Guide
I put this Nashville prayer times guide together because the Muslim community in Nashville — both long-time residents and visitors — deserves a clean, locally accurate resource. I’m not an Islamic scholar, and I’m not Muslim. I’m a Nashville resident who pays attention to the people and communities that make this city what it is.
For the most precise daily Nashville salat times, always cross-reference with the Islamic Center of Tennessee (ICT) at 5400 Bell Forge LN E, Antioch, TN 37013, or use the Athan App or PrayerBook set to Nashville’s coordinates. Both platforms pull live solar data and update the Nashville prayer schedule daily.
Nashville prayer times in this guide reflect standard 2026 calculations for Nashville, TN using the ISNA calculation method. Times shift daily based on solar position. Verify current times with ICT or a GPS-based prayer app before observing Salah.
