Dāmghān Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Dāmghān, Iran

Dāmghānprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (36.1679°N, 54.3429°E) using the Tehran calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Iran. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.

The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Dāmghān's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Dāmghān prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Dāmghān's prayer times are worked out

Dāmghān sits 2,160 km (1,342 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 225° from true north — you face southwest to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Iran follows the Tehran method set by the Institute of Geophysics, Tehran: Fajr begins when the sun is 17.7° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 14°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.

Day length is what really moves the timetable in Dāmghān. Measured with the Tehran method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 47m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 33m in December: a swing of 5h 14m across the year. That spread is set by Dāmghān's latitude (36.17°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

Dāmghān sits close to the meridian of its Asia/Tehran time zone, so the sun peaks within 0 minutes of clock noon and Dhuhr lands near midday — today at 11:59 AM. Dhuhr always tracks the sun's peak, not the clock. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Shahrud, Gorgān, Bandar-e Torkaman — close enough that their times differ from Dāmghān's by only a few minutes.
