Al Fāw Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Al Fāw, Iraq

Prayer times in Al Fāw are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (29.97°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Iraq. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Al Fāw's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Iraq. They are drawn from Al Fāw's own coordinates (29.9742°N, 48.4731°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Al Fāw's prayer times are worked out

From Al Fāw, the Qibla is 224° 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 Al Fāw's own coordinates (29.97°N, 48.47°E), not a national average. That is why Al Fāw's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Al Fāw timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 41m around June. It eases to 11h 39m by December. That is a 4h 02m swing, set by the city's latitude of 29.97°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Al Fāw 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. Al Fāw sits east of its Baghdad meridian. The sun peaks about 5 minutes before noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:44 AM. We also publish times for nearby Abadan, Umm Qaşr and Khorramshahr. Each is only a few minutes off Al Fāw's clock.
