Prayer Times in Az Zulfī, Saudi Arabia
Prayer times in Az Zulfī are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (26.30°N). We use the Umm al-Qura method, the one followed across Saudi Arabia. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Az Zulfī's times use the Umm al-Qura method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Saudi Arabia. They are drawn from Az Zulfī's own coordinates (26.2995°N, 44.8154°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Az Zulfī's prayer times are worked out
From Az Zulfī, the Qibla is 224° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 742 km (461 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Az Zulfī's own coordinates (26.30°N, 44.82°E), not a national average. That is why Az Zulfī's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Day length is what moves the Az Zulfī timetable through the year. With the Umm al-Qura method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 21m around June. It eases to 11h 55m by December. That is a 3h 26m swing, set by the city's latitude of 26.30°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Az Zulfī come from Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. The Umm al-Qura method sets Fajr when the sun is 18.5° below the horizon, and Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Az Zulfī sits west of its Riyadh meridian. The sun peaks about 8 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:58 AM. We also publish times for nearby Buraydah, Unaizah and Ar Rass. Each is only a few minutes off Az Zulfī's clock.

Who sets prayer times in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia's official times come from the Umm al-Qura calendar. It is administered by the Institute of Astronomical and Geophysical Research, at King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology in Riyadh. Its method is distinctive. Fajr is calculated at 18.5° below the horizon, but Isha is not an angle at all. It is fixed at 90 minutes after Maghrib, extended to 120 minutes during Ramadan. This page uses that Umm al-Qura convention. The dominant school is Hanbali, so Asr is called at the first shadow rather than the later Hanafi second-shadow time. The Eastern Province has a historic Maliki presence, which shares the same first-shadow Asr.
The two holiest mosques on earth
No country carries the weight in Islam that Saudi Arabia does. Masjid al-Haram in Mecca encloses the Kaaba. That is the qibla every one of the world's Muslims turns toward for all five daily prayers, from every city on this site. It is also the focal point of the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages. Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina, the Prophet's Mosque, is the second-holiest site in Islam. Built by the Prophet Muhammad in 622 CE, its Green Dome rises over his tomb. Prayer in these two mosques carries a reward described in the hadith as many times that of prayer elsewhere. That is why they draw worshippers from across the planet year-round.
