Homs's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Syria. They are drawn from Homs's own coordinates (34.7240°N, 36.7256°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Homs's prayer times are worked out

From Homs, the Qibla is 168° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,510 km (938 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Homs's own coordinates (34.72°N, 36.73°E), not a national average. That is why Homs's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Homs timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Homs lies well west inside its Damascus time zone. So the sun peaks about 42 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:31 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 16m near June down to 11h 20m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Homs 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 Ar Rastan, As Salamīyah and Ḩamāh. Each is only a few minutes off Homs's clock.
