How Ash Sharqāt's prayer times are worked out

From Ash Sharqāt, the Qibla is 193° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,602 km (995 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ash Sharqāt's own coordinates (35.52°N, 43.23°E), not a national average. That is why Ash Sharqāt's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ash Sharqāt timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ash Sharqāt lies well west inside its Baghdad time zone. So the sun peaks about 16 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:05 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 22m near June down to 11h 17m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ash Sharqāt 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 Bayjī, Al-Hamdaniya and Mosul. Each is only a few minutes off Ash Sharqāt's clock.
