Amman Prayer Times

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 12:35 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.
