Prayer Times in Al Rayyan, Qatar

Al Rayyan's times use the Qatar method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Qatar. They are drawn from Al Rayyan's own coordinates (25.2919°N, 51.4244°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Al Rayyan's prayer times are worked out

From Al Rayyan, the Qibla is 252° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,259 km (782 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Al Rayyan's own coordinates (25.29°N, 51.42°E), not a national average. That is why Al Rayyan's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Al Rayyan timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Al Rayyan lies well east inside its Qatar time zone. So the sun peaks about 18 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:32 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 13m near June down to 11h 55m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Al Rayyan 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 Maţār al ‘Atīq and Lusail. Each is only a few minutes off Al Rayyan's clock.
