How Ar Rastan's prayer times are worked out

From Ar Rastan, the Qibla is 168° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,532 km (952 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ar Rastan's own coordinates (34.93°N, 36.73°E), not a national average. That is why Ar Rastan's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ar Rastan timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ar Rastan lies well west inside its Damascus time zone. So the sun peaks about 42 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:31 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 17m near June down to 11h 19m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ar Rastan 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 Homs, Ḩamāh and As Salamīyah. Each is only a few minutes off Ar Rastan's clock.
