Ar Raqqah's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Syria. They are drawn from Ar Raqqah's own coordinates (35.9528°N, 39.0079°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Ar Raqqah's prayer times are worked out

From Ar Raqqah, the Qibla is 177° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,618 km (1,005 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ar Raqqah's own coordinates (35.95°N, 39.01°E), not a national average. That is why Ar Raqqah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ar Raqqah timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ar Raqqah lies well west inside its Damascus time zone. So the sun peaks about 32 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:22 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 26m near June down to 11h 14m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ar Raqqah 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 Al-Tabqa, Manbij and ‘Ayn al ‘Arab. Each is only a few minutes off Ar Raqqah's clock.
