Prayer Times in Maghnia, Algeria

Maghniaprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (34.8497°N, 1.7275°W) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Algeria. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.

The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Maghnia's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Maghnia prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Maghnia's prayer times are worked out

Maghnia sits 4,304 km (2,674 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 99° from true north — you face east to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Algeria follows the Muslim World League method set by the Muslim World League: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.

Day length is what really moves the timetable in Maghnia. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 17m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 19m in December: a swing of 4h 58m across the year. That spread is set by Maghnia's latitude (34.85°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Maghnia does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Africa/Algiers time zone, the sun peaks about 75 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 1:14 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Oujda, Mansoûra, Tlemcen — close enough that their times differ from Maghnia's by only a few minutes.

Who sets prayer times in Algeria

Algeria's mosque framework is set by the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Wakfs, whose lunar-crescent committee is the only body competent to fix the start of the Hijri months — so Ramadan and Eid are declared nationally by sighting. The calculation commonly associated with Algeria uses a Fajr angle of 18° and an Isha angle of 17°. Algeria is a Maliki country, so Asr is called at the first shadow rather than the later Hanafi second-shadow time.

Djamaa el Djazaïr

Algiers is home to Djamaa el Djazaïr, the Great Mosque of Algiers, inaugurated in February 2024 and now the third-largest mosque in the world after the sanctuaries of Mecca and Medina. Its prayer hall holds around 37,000 worshippers and the wider compound as many as 120,000. Its minaret is the tallest in the world at 265 metres and contains a museum of Islamic culture inside the tower itself — a landmark visible across the bay of Algiers.
