Prayer Times in Ar Riqqah, Kuwait

Ar Riqqah's times use the Kuwait method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Kuwait. They are drawn from Ar Riqqah's own coordinates (29.1458°N, 48.0947°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Ar Riqqah's prayer times are worked out

From Ar Riqqah, the Qibla is 226° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,194 km (742 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ar Riqqah's own coordinates (29.15°N, 48.09°E), not a national average. That is why Ar Riqqah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Ar Riqqah timetable through the year. With the Kuwait method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 36m around June. It eases to 11h 42m by December. That is a 3h 54m swing, set by the city's latitude of 29.15°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ar Riqqah come from Kuwait's Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs. The Kuwait method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17.5°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Ar Riqqah sits east of its Kuwait meridian. The sun peaks about 5 minutes before noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:45 AM. We also publish times for nearby Al Aḩmadī, Al Faḩāḩīl and Şabāḩ as Sālim. Each is only a few minutes off Ar Riqqah's clock.
