How Rukban's prayer times are worked out

From Rukban, the Qibla is 175° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,327 km (824 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Rukban's own coordinates (33.31°N, 38.70°E), not a national average. That is why Rukban's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Rukban timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Rukban lies well west inside its Amman time zone. So the sun peaks about 34 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:24 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 05m near June down to 11h 26m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Rukban 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 Tadmur, Ţurayf and As-Suwayda. Each is only a few minutes off Rukban's clock.
