How Mafraq's prayer times are worked out

From Mafraq, the Qibla is 163° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,266 km (787 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Mafraq's own coordinates (32.34°N, 36.21°E), not a national average. That is why Mafraq's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Mafraq timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Mafraq lies well west inside its Amman time zone. So the sun peaks about 44 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:34 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 57m near June down to 11h 29m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Mafraq 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 Az̧ Z̧ulayl, Ar Ramthā and Zarqa. Each is only a few minutes off Mafraq's clock.
