How Madīnat Ḩamad's prayer times are worked out

From Madīnat Ḩamad, the Qibla is 247° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,205 km (749 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Madīnat Ḩamad's own coordinates (26.12°N, 50.51°E), not a national average. That is why Madīnat Ḩamad's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Madīnat Ḩamad timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Madīnat Ḩamad lies well east inside its Bahrain time zone. So the sun peaks about 15 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:35 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 20m near June down to 11h 55m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Madīnat Ḩamad come from Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. The Umm al-Qura method sets Fajr when the sun is 18.5° below the horizon, and Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. 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 Rifā‘, Riffa and Dār Kulayb. Each is only a few minutes off Madīnat Ḩamad's clock.
