Prayer Times in Qal‘at Sukkar, Iraq
Prayer times in Qal‘at Sukkar are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (31.86°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Iraq. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Qal‘at Sukkar's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Iraq. They are drawn from Qal‘at Sukkar's own coordinates (31.8632°N, 46.0732°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Qal‘at Sukkar's prayer times are worked out
From Qal‘at Sukkar, the Qibla is 210° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,316 km (818 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Qal‘at Sukkar's own coordinates (31.86°N, 46.07°E), not a national average. That is why Qal‘at Sukkar's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Day length is what moves the Qal‘at Sukkar timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 55m around June. It eases to 11h 32m by December. That is a 4h 23m swing, set by the city's latitude of 31.86°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Qal‘at Sukkar 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. Qal‘at Sukkar sits close to its Baghdad meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 11:54 AM today. We also publish times for nearby Al Ḩayy, Ash Shaţrah and Al-Kut. Each is only a few minutes off Qal‘at Sukkar's clock.

Prayer times in a two-tradition country
Iraq's religious life runs on two great traditions side by side. Sunni mosques call Maghrib at sunset. Shia practice waits some ten to fifteen minutes for the eastern sky to lose its redness (zawal al-humra). Two nearby mosques can therefore call the evening prayer at slightly different moments, and both are correct within their own school. This page uses the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) applied to this city's coordinates, the widespread standard convention. Followers of Ja'fari timing should expect their mosque's Maghrib a few minutes later. Iraq keeps a single time zone (UTC+3) with no daylight saving.
Najaf, Karbala, Kufa, Baghdad
Few countries carry Iraq's density of sacred geography. The shrine of Imam Ali in Najaf and the shrines of Karbala draw millions of pilgrims. The Arba'een walk to Karbala ranks among the largest annual gatherings on earth. The Great Mosque of Kufa, meanwhile, is one of the earliest mosques in Islam. In Baghdad, the Abu Hanifa Mosque in Adhamiyah holds the tomb of the founder of the Hanafi school. The golden-domed al-Kadhimiya shrine faces it across the Tigris — two traditions living within one city, as they have for centuries.
