Prayer Times in Būmahen, Iran
Prayer times in Būmahen are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (35.73°N). We use the Tehran method, the one followed across Iran. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Būmahen's times use the Tehran method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Iran. They are drawn from Būmahen's own coordinates (35.7297°N, 51.8688°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Būmahen's prayer times are worked out
From Būmahen, the Qibla is 220° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,975 km (1,227 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Būmahen's own coordinates (35.73°N, 51.87°E), not a national average. That is why Būmahen's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Day length is what moves the Būmahen timetable through the year. With the Tehran method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 43m around June. It eases to 11h 35m by December. That is a 5h 08m swing, set by the city's latitude of 35.73°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Būmahen come from the Institute of Geophysics, Tehran. The Tehran method sets Fajr when the sun is 17.7° below the horizon, and Isha at 14°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Būmahen sits west of its Tehran meridian. The sun peaks about 10 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:47 AM. We also publish times for nearby Pardīs, Pākdasht and Tehran. Each is only a few minutes off Būmahen's clock.

Iranian prayer times work differently
Iran follows Ja'fari (Twelver Shia) fiqh, and its prayer times are not simply a variant of the Sunni ones — the rules themselves differ. Asr does not wait for a shadow to reach one or two object-lengths. Its time begins after the interval needed to pray Dhuhr. In practice Dhuhr and Asr are prayed back to back. Maghrib differs too. Rather than beginning at sunset, it is delayed until the redness in the eastern sky has passed overhead. In practice that is implemented as the sun sitting roughly 4 to 4.5 degrees below the horizon. Maghrib and Isha are then typically combined. The practical result is that many Iranians pray in three sittings a day rather than five. The national reference is the Institute of Geophysics at the University of Tehran (Fajr 17.7°, Isha 14°), the method used on this page.
Mashhad, Isfahan and the shrines
The Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad is the spiritual centre of Iranian Shia life. Its complex covers about 1.2 million square metres. That makes it the largest mosque in the world by area, after the sanctuaries of Mecca and Medina. It draws roughly 30 million pilgrims a year, the most visited pilgrimage site in Islam after the Hajj. Within the same complex stands the Goharshad Mosque, commissioned by the Timurid empress Goharshad and completed around 1430. In Isfahan, the Shah (Imam) Mosque on Naqsh-e Jahan Square was begun in 1611. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and among the finest works of Safavid architecture.
