Al Bāb's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Syria. They are drawn from Al Bāb's own coordinates (36.3705°N, 37.5157°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Al Bāb's prayer times are worked out

From Al Bāb, the Qibla is 172° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,677 km (1,042 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Al Bāb's own coordinates (36.37°N, 37.52°E), not a national average. That is why Al Bāb's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Al Bāb timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Al Bāb lies well west inside its Damascus time zone. So the sun peaks about 38 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:28 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 29m near June down to 11h 13m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Al Bāb 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. We also publish times for nearby Kabbasin, As Safīrah and Aleppo. Each is only a few minutes off Al Bāb's clock.
