Najrān Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Najrān, Saudi Arabia

Prayer times in Najrān are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (17.49°N). We use the Umm al-Qura method, the one followed across Saudi Arabia. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Najrān's times use the Umm al-Qura method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Saudi Arabia. They are drawn from Najrān's own coordinates (17.4933°N, 44.1277°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Najrān's prayer times are worked out

From Najrān, the Qibla is 315° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 628 km (390 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Najrān's own coordinates (17.49°N, 44.13°E), not a national average. That is why Najrān's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Najrān timetable through the year. With the Umm al-Qura method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 36m around June. It eases to 12h 25m by December. That is a 2h 11m swing, set by the city's latitude of 17.49°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Najrān 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. Najrān sits west of its Riyadh meridian. The sun peaks about 11 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:01 PM. We also publish times for nearby Sa'dah, Abū ‘Arīsh and Şabyā. Each is only a few minutes off Najrān's clock.
