Prayer Times in Dihok, Iraq
Prayer times in Dihok are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (36.87°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Iraq. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Dihok's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Iraq. They are drawn from Dihok's own coordinates (36.8661°N, 42.9879°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Dihok's prayer times are worked out
From Dihok, the Qibla is 191° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,744 km (1,084 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Dihok's own coordinates (36.87°N, 42.99°E), not a national average. That is why Dihok's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Dihok timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Dihok lies well west inside its Baghdad time zone. So the sun peaks about 17 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:53 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 34m near June down to 11h 11m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Dihok 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 Sīnah, Simele and Sumayl. Each is only a few minutes off Dihok's clock.

Prayer times in a two-tradition country
Iraq's religious life runs on two great traditions side by side. Sunni mosques call Maghrib at sunset. Shia practice waits some ten to fifteen minutes for the eastern sky to lose its redness (zawal al-humra). Two nearby mosques can therefore call the evening prayer at slightly different moments, and both are correct within their own school. This page uses the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) applied to this city's coordinates, the widespread standard convention. Followers of Ja'fari timing should expect their mosque's Maghrib a few minutes later. Iraq keeps a single time zone (UTC+3) with no daylight saving.
Najaf, Karbala, Kufa, Baghdad
Few countries carry Iraq's density of sacred geography. The shrine of Imam Ali in Najaf and the shrines of Karbala draw millions of pilgrims. The Arba'een walk to Karbala ranks among the largest annual gatherings on earth. The Great Mosque of Kufa, meanwhile, is one of the earliest mosques in Islam. In Baghdad, the Abu Hanifa Mosque in Adhamiyah holds the tomb of the founder of the Hanafi school. The golden-domed al-Kadhimiya shrine faces it across the Tigris — two traditions living within one city, as they have for centuries.
Mosques in Dihok
Mosques in and around Dihok include Azadi Mosque, Gre Base Mosque, مزگەوتی محمد, مزگەوتی ئەمین, Shahid Mula Anwar Baye Mosque and مزگەوتی موختاری.

That is the congregation, called a few minutes after each prayer starts.
