Prayer Times in Al Ḩayy, Iraq

Al Ḩayyprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (32.1742°N, 46.0434°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Iraq. 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 Ḩayy'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 Ḩayy prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Al Ḩayy's prayer times are worked out

Al Ḩayy sits 1,345 km (836 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 209° from true north — you face southwest to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Iraq 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 Ḩayy. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 56m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 30m in December: a swing of 4h 26m across the year. That spread is set by Al Ḩayy's latitude (32.17°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

Al Ḩayy sits close to the meridian of its Asia/Baghdad time zone, so the sun peaks within 4 minutes of clock noon and Dhuhr lands near midday — today at 12:03 PM. Dhuhr always tracks the sun's peak, not the clock. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Qal‘at Sukkar, Al-Kut, An Nu‘mānīyah — close enough that their times differ from Al Ḩayy's by only a few minutes.

Prayer times in a two-tradition country

Iraq's religious life runs on two great traditions side by side. Sunni mosques call Maghrib at sunset, while Shia practice waits some ten to fifteen minutes for the eastern sky to lose its redness (zawal al-humra) — so two nearby mosques can call the evening prayer at slightly different moments, and both are correct within their own school. This page uses the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) applied to this city's coordinates, the widespread standard convention; followers of Ja'fari timing should expect their mosque's Maghrib a few minutes later. Iraq keeps a single time zone (UTC+3) with no daylight saving.

Najaf, Karbala, Kufa, Baghdad

Few countries carry Iraq's density of sacred geography: the shrine of Imam Ali in Najaf and the shrines of Karbala draw millions of pilgrims — the Arba'een walk to Karbala ranks among the largest annual gatherings on earth — while the Great Mosque of Kufa is one of the earliest mosques in Islam. In Baghdad, the Abu Hanifa Mosque in Adhamiyah holds the tomb of the founder of the Hanafi school, and the golden-domed al-Kadhimiya shrine faces it across the Tigris — the two traditions living within one city, as they have for centuries.
