How Al Qā’im's prayer times are worked out

From Al Qā’im, the Qibla is 185° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,447 km (899 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Al Qā’im's own coordinates (34.39°N, 40.99°E), not a national average. That is why Al Qā’im's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Al Qā’im timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Al Qā’im lies well west inside its Baghdad time zone. So the sun peaks about 25 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:14 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 14m near June down to 11h 22m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Al Qā’im 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 Ālbū Kamāl, Al Mayādīn and Deir ez-Zor. Each is only a few minutes off Al Qā’im's clock.
