Ash Shaţrah's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Iraq. They are drawn from Ash Shaţrah's own coordinates (31.4091°N, 46.1727°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Ash Shaţrah's prayer times are worked out

From Ash Shaţrah, the Qibla is 211° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,277 km (793 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ash Shaţrah's own coordinates (31.41°N, 46.17°E), not a national average. That is why Ash Shaţrah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Ash Shaţrah timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 51m around June. It eases to 11h 33m by December. That is a 4h 18m swing, set by the city's latitude of 31.41°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ash Shaţrah 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. Ash Shaţrah sits close to its Baghdad meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 11:54 AM today. We also publish times for nearby Nasiriyah, Qal‘at Sukkar and As Samawah. Each is only a few minutes off Ash Shaţrah's clock.
