How As Samawah's prayer times are worked out

From As Samawah, the Qibla is 208° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,229 km (763 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from As Samawah's own coordinates (31.33°N, 45.29°E), not a national average. That is why As Samawah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the As Samawah timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 50m around June. It eases to 11h 33m by December. That is a 4h 17m swing, set by the city's latitude of 31.33°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for As Samawah 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. As Samawah sits west of its Baghdad meridian. The sun peaks about 7 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:57 AM. We also publish times for nearby Al Diwaniyah, Ash Shaţrah and Qal‘at Sukkar. Each is only a few minutes off As Samawah's clock.
