How Al-Hamdaniya's prayer times are worked out

From Al-Hamdaniya, the Qibla is 193° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,687 km (1,048 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Al-Hamdaniya's own coordinates (36.27°N, 43.38°E), not a national average. That is why Al-Hamdaniya's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Al-Hamdaniya timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Al-Hamdaniya lies well west inside its Baghdad time zone. So the sun peaks about 15 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:05 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 28m near June down to 11h 14m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Al-Hamdaniya 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 Mosul, Erbil and Baḥarkah. Each is only a few minutes off Al-Hamdaniya's clock.
