Prayer Times in Amman, Jordan

Prayer times in Amman are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (31.96°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Jordan. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Amman's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Jordan. They are drawn from Amman's own coordinates (31.9552°N, 35.9450°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Amman's prayer times are worked out

From Amman, the Qibla is 161° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,233 km (766 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Amman's own coordinates (31.96°N, 35.95°E), not a national average. That is why Amman's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Amman timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Amman lies well west inside its Amman time zone. So the sun peaks about 45 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:43 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 55m near June down to 11h 31m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Amman 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 Khuraybat as Sūq, Ḩayy Khildā and Marj Al Hamam. Each is only a few minutes off Amman's clock.

Who sets prayer times in Jordan

Jordan's prayer times are issued by the Ministry of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs and Holy Places. Its method puts both Fajr and Isha at 18° below the horizon, the convention this page applies. The Shafi'i school is historically dominant, with a substantial Hanafi presence. Most Jordanian timetables therefore use the standard first-shadow Asr, while some mosques follow the later Hanafi time.

Amman's landmark mosques

The King Abdullah I Mosque in Amman was built between 1982 and 1989, a memorial by King Hussein to his grandfather. It is instantly recognisable for its blue mosaic dome, which spans some 35 metres. It is also the one Amman mosque that regularly welcomes non-Muslim visitors. The King Hussein Bin Talal Mosque, completed in 2005, is the largest in the country. Together they anchor the religious life of a capital that has grown rapidly while keeping the daily rhythm of the five prayers at its centre.

Mosques in Amman

Mosques in and around Amman include مسجد الصالحين, مسجد الحرس الملكي الاردني, مسجد الأ مير حسن, مسجد أبو عبيدة, Husseini Mosque and جامع ربيع بن عامر. The times on this page are worked out from Amman's own coordinates, and they apply across these mosques. Check the exact iqama time with your local mosque. That is the congregation, called a few minutes after each prayer starts.
