Prayer Times in Al Bāb, Syria
Al Bābprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (36.3705°N, 37.5157°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Syria. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.
The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Al Bāb's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Al Bāb prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Al Bāb's prayer times are worked out
Al Bāb sits 1,677 km (1,042 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 172° from true north — you face south to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Syria follows the Muslim World League method set by the Muslim World League: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.
Day length is what really moves the timetable in Al Bāb. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 29m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 13m in December: a swing of 5h 16m across the year. That spread is set by Al Bāb's latitude (36.37°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Al Bāb does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Asia/Damascus time zone, the sun peaks about 38 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 12:37 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Kabbasin, As Safīrah, Aleppo — close enough that their times differ from Al Bāb's by only a few minutes.
Prayer times in Syria — and a recent clock change
Syrian prayer timetables are traditionally issued through the Ministry of Awqaf and the mosques of each city. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to this city's own coordinates. Mind the clock: in October 2022 Syria abolished daylight saving and fixed its time permanently at UTC+3, so any timetable or app configuration saved before then may drift an hour in winter. The times here are computed against the current permanent UTC+3, so no adjustment is needed.
The Umayyad Mosque and thirteen centuries of prayer
The Umayyad Mosque of Damascus, completed in 715 under Caliph al-Walid I, is one of the oldest and most revered mosques in the world — built on a sacred site used for millennia, holding a shrine that tradition associates with the head of John the Baptist (Yahya), honoured by Muslims and Christians alike. Aleppo's Great Mosque, its Seljuk minaret a casualty of the recent war, is being restored — a reminder that Syria's mosques carry both the deepest history and the freshest scars of the region.
