How Abū al-Kahṣīb's prayer times are worked out

From Abū al-Kahṣīb, the Qibla is 221° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,285 km (799 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Abū al-Kahṣīb's own coordinates (30.44°N, 47.88°E), not a national average. That is why Abū al-Kahṣīb's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Abū al-Kahṣīb timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 45m around June. It eases to 11h 37m by December. That is a 4h 08m swing, set by the city's latitude of 30.44°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Abū al-Kahṣīb come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Abū al-Kahṣīb sits close to its Baghdad meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 11:55 AM today. We also publish times for nearby Basrah, Az Zubayr and Al Hārithah. Each is only a few minutes off Abū al-Kahṣīb's clock.
