CAIR-Ohio gives a voice to the state’s more than 150,000 Muslims, including 35,000 in Central Ohio. Formed in 1998, CAIR-Ohio is based in Columbus, with offices in Cincinnati and Cleveland. To better serve the Muslim community – and all Ohioans – more offices are expected to open throughout the state. CAIR-Ohio helps fulfill the CAIR mission by helping Ohio Muslims become active, participating members of society by: 1. Educating the public and public officials on important Muslim values such as emphasis on strong families, improving neighborhoods and protecting Ohio’s great quality of life. CAIR-Ohio organizes conferences and training seminars for government and law enforcement agencies, media professionals and the academic community to highlight relevant Islamic practices and offer suggestions for religious accommodation. CAIR also provides sensitivity and diversity training workshops to employers, educators and organizations. 2. Advocating and mediating on behalf of Muslims and others who have experienced religious discrimination, defamation or hate crimes. CAIR-Ohio works to protect and defend the constitutional rights of American Muslims, thereby supporting the rights of all Americans. 3. Monitoring legislation and government activities and working with public officials to find common ground on public policy issues. Because of these positive relationships, policymakers turn to CAIR-Ohio when they need insight on issues affecting the Muslim community. 4.

Sunrise
Shurooq is the time of sunrise, the time when the upper limb of the sun just starts to appear above the horizon. This marks the end time for Fajr (morning) prayer.
Qiyam
The term Qiyam-ul-layl, in the most literal sense, means to stand during the night. It is a voluntary prayer which is offered between the time of Ishaa prayer and the Fajr prayer (before dawn). But the most preferred time is before sunrise, in the last third of the night.For more information, read our article on qiyam.
The difference between Standard and Hanafi (Juristic Methods)
The only difference is in the Asr prayer. In the standard method (which is used by Imamas Shafii, Hanbali, and Maliki) the Asr prayer time starts when the shadow of an object is equivalent to its height, whereas in the Hanafi method the Asr prayer time starts when the shadow of an object is twice its height.
Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour from standard time during the summer months, and back again in the fall, in order to make better use of natural strong daylight. IslamicFinder Website is adjusting daylight savings automatically according to your location.
Latitude and Longitude
To calculate the prayer times for a given location, we need to know the latitude and the longitude of your current city or town, along with the local timezone for that location. IslamicFinder is detecting longitude, latitude and timezone of your current city or town automatically. If you face any difference in prayer timings according to your current location then please confirm these latitude and longitude first. You can also use our 'Change Settings' option to change latitude, longitude and timezone of your current location. You can find this option of 'Change Settings' from Top Search bar setting link on right side or from today prayer times card.
