Prayer Times in Gaza, Palestine
Prayer times in Gaza are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (31.50°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Palestine. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Gaza's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Palestine. They are drawn from Gaza's own coordinates (31.5016°N, 34.4667°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Gaza's prayer times are worked out
From Gaza, the Qibla is 153° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,241 km (771 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Gaza's own coordinates (31.50°N, 34.47°E), not a national average. That is why Gaza's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Day length is what moves the Gaza timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 52m around June. It eases to 11h 33m by December. That is a 4h 19m swing, set by the city's latitude of 31.50°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Gaza 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. Gaza sits east of its Gaza meridian. The sun peaks about 9 minutes before noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:49 PM. We also publish times for nearby Jabālyā, Bayt Lāhyā and Dayr al Balaḩ. Each is only a few minutes off Gaza's clock.

Prayer times in Palestine
Palestinians are overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim, predominantly of the Shafi'i school with a Hanafi presence inherited from Ottoman times. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to the city's own coordinates. It runs on the Eastern European clock (UTC+2, and UTC+3 in summer) kept across the territories. Local mosques announce the standard first-shadow Asr shown here.
Al-Aqsa — the third holy place and the first qibla
Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa compound (al-Haram al-Sharif) is the third holiest site in Islam, for Sunni and Shia alike. It was also Islam's first qibla, the direction Muslims faced in prayer before it turned to Mecca. The walled esplanade holds the silver-domed Qibli Mosque and the golden Dome of the Rock. That octagonal shrine marks the site of the Prophet's Night Journey and Ascension. The compound's religious affairs are administered by the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf. Prayer everywhere still turns toward Mecca, and this page gives the Qibla bearing for each Palestinian city. But Al-Aqsa's place in Muslim devotion is singular.
Mosques in Gaza
Mosques in and around Gaza include مسجد القزدمري, Al-Mahkama Mosque, Ibn Othman Mosque, الجامع العمري الكبير, مسجد علي بن مروان and مسجد الست رقية. The times on this page are worked out from Gaza's own coordinates, and they apply across these mosques. Check the exact iqama time with your local mosque. That is the congregation, called a few minutes after each prayer starts.
