Prayer Times in Al Maţār al ‘Atīq, Qatar
Prayer times in Al Maţār al ‘Atīq are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (25.25°N). We use the Qatar method, the one followed across Qatar. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Al Maţār al ‘Atīq's times use the Qatar method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Qatar. They are drawn from Al Maţār al ‘Atīq's own coordinates (25.2514°N, 51.5557°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Al Maţār al ‘Atīq's prayer times are worked out
From Al Maţār al ‘Atīq, the Qibla is 253° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,270 km (789 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Al Maţār al ‘Atīq's own coordinates (25.25°N, 51.56°E), not a national average. That is why Al Maţār al ‘Atīq's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Al Maţār al ‘Atīq timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Al Maţār al ‘Atīq lies well east inside its Qatar time zone. So the sun peaks about 19 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:31 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 12m near June down to 11h 56m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Al Maţār al ‘Atīq come from Qatar's Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs. The Qatar method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. 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 Doha, Al Wakrah and Al Rayyan. Each is only a few minutes off Al Maţār al ‘Atīq's clock.

Who sets prayer times in Qatar
Qatar's prayer times are administered by the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, with official timetables published by the Qatar Calendar House (Dar al-Taqweem al-Qatari). The method is a variant of Umm al-Qura. Fajr sits at 18° below the horizon, and Isha is fixed at 90 minutes after Maghrib rather than an angle. That is the convention this page applies. The dominant school is Hanbali, as in neighbouring Saudi Arabia, so Asr is called at the first shadow. Qatar's population is overwhelmingly expatriate, and its mosques serve communities from every part of the Muslim world.
The Qatar State Grand Mosque
The Imam Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab Mosque in Doha was inaugurated in 2011. It is Qatar's national mosque and its largest, able to hold more than 30,000 worshippers across its halls and courtyards. Its roofline is crowned by 93 domes, and it is named after the 18th-century Najdi scholar whose reform movement shaped religious life across the Gulf. Qatar uses a fixed 90-minute interval for Isha rather than an angle. So the gap between Maghrib and Isha stays constant through the year. That is a small but real difference from Gulf neighbours such as Kuwait and the UAE, which use an angle instead.
Mosques in Al Maţār al ‘Atīq

That is the congregation, called a few minutes after each prayer starts.
