Prayer Times in Al Hillah, Iraq
Prayer times in Al Hillah are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (32.46°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 Hillah's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Iraq. They are drawn from Al Hillah's own coordinates (32.4637°N, 44.4196°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Al Hillah's prayer times are worked out
From Al Hillah, the Qibla is 201° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,309 km (813 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Al Hillah's own coordinates (32.46°N, 44.42°E), not a national average. That is why Al Hillah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Day length is what moves the Al Hillah timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 59m around June. It eases to 11h 29m by December. That is a 4h 30m swing, set by the city's latitude of 32.46°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Al Hillah 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 Hillah sits west of its Baghdad meridian. The sun peaks about 11 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:09 PM. We also publish times for nearby Al Hindīyah, Al-Qāsim and Al-Musayab. Each is only a few minutes off Al Hillah's clock.

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. Shia practice waits some ten to fifteen minutes for the eastern sky to lose its redness (zawal al-humra). Two nearby mosques can therefore 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. The Great Mosque of Kufa, meanwhile, 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. The golden-domed al-Kadhimiya shrine faces it across the Tigris — two traditions living within one city, as they have for centuries.
