These settings control how Fajr, sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated, and they help keep the displayed timetable consistent for towns and cities across the country.

Using American Samoa prayer settings
Prayer calculation settings are useful because different communities may follow different calculation methods for twilight, high latitude handling and the Asr shadow rule. The default settings shown on this page are applied automatically when you open a prayer timetable for American Samoa, so most visitors can view times without changing anything.
If you need to compare methods, open a location in American Samoa and adjust the settings on the prayer times page. The timetable will update using the selected method while keeping the country-supported options listed here. This makes it easier to check how Fajr, Isha or Asr may differ before printing, downloading or sharing prayer times.
The supported method lists also explain which settings are available for American Samoa and which option is treated as the default. Unsupported calculation choices are hidden so that generated timetables remain within the configuration intended for this country.
