Prayer times – Can Tho

Muslim Presence in Can Tho: Can Tho, the largest city in the Mekong Delta, is home to a small but established Muslim community. The city's Islamic heritage is rooted in the Cham ethnic minority, who have lived in the region for centuries. While exact historical records are limited, the presence of mosques and prayer spaces reflects a long-standing Muslim settlement. Today, the community continues to practice their faith discreetly, contributing to the city's multicultural fabric.

Community Implantation and Mosques: The Muslim community in Can Tho is centered around two key prayer places. Masjid Rahmah, located on Đường 3 Tháng 2 in the Hưng Lợi ward of Ninh Kiều district, serves as a central mosque for daily prayers and gatherings. Another notable site is Cổng rào antt ấp Tân Long, a prayer space in the rural Phong Điền district, about 15 km from the city center. These locations indicate the community's presence in both urban and suburban areas, with Masjid Rahmah being the most accessible for residents and visitors in the city.

Prayer Time Orientation: Muslims in Can Tho observe the five daily prayers—Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha—according to the local timezone (Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh). Prayer times shift throughout the year due to the city's latitude and seasonal changes in sunrise and sunset. The Qibla direction, determined from Can Tho's coordinates, points towards Mecca, with a specific bearing and distance (exact values available on the page). The calculation method used ensures accurate timings for the local community, helping worshippers maintain their daily rhythm.
