Answers refreshed daily based on today's actual Asr time, sunrise, sunset, and Hijri date in Dearborn.

What time is Asr today in Dearborn?
Asr in Dearborn, United States begins today (Wednesday, August 12, 2026) at 17:30 local time (America/Detroit) and continues until Maghrib at 20:38.

The figure shown (17:30) follows the calculation method configured for this page.
When does the Asr window end?
Asr ends at sunset (Maghrib). The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: "Whoever catches one rakat of Asr before sunset has caught Asr" (Bukhari). In Dearborn today, that gives a window from 17:30 to 20:38.
Why is Asr particularly emphasized in the Qur'an?
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:238 says: "Guard strictly your prayers, especially the middle prayer." Many scholars identify this verse as referring to Asr, which falls in the middle of the working day when distractions are highest and missing the prayer is easiest.
How does today's Asr time in Dearborn compare to the same date last year?
On this same date one year ago, Asr in Dearborn was at 17:30 local time — identical to today's 17:30. Year-over-year drift is sometimes zero when the leap-year alignment cancels out the typical solar shift.
How many rakat is Asr prayer?
Asr prayer consists of 4 Sunnah, 4 Fard (8 rakat in total). This breakdown follows the standard Sunni convention as taught by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
What direction is the Qibla from Dearborn for Asr?
