Prayer Times in Al Qā’im, Iraq
Prayer times in Al Qā’im are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (34.39°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 Qā’im's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Iraq. They are drawn from Al Qā’im's own coordinates (34.3925°N, 40.9894°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
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 12:01 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.

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.

Most likely it follows the Shia (Ja'fari) convention, which delays Maghrib ten to fifteen minutes after astronomical sunset until the eastern sky's redness passes.
