Prayer Times in Rukban, Jordan
Rukbanprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (33.3141°N, 38.7034°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Jordan. 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 Rukban'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 Rukban prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Rukban's prayer times are worked out
Rukban sits 1,327 km (824 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 175° from true north — you face south to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Jordan 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 Rukban. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 05m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 26m in December: a swing of 4h 39m across the year. That spread is set by Rukban's latitude (33.31°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Rukban does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Asia/Amman time zone, the sun peaks about 34 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 12:32 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Tadmur, Ţurayf, As-Suwayda — close enough that their times differ from Rukban's by only a few minutes.
Who sets prayer times in Jordan
Jordan's prayer times are issued by the Ministry of Awqaf, Islamic Affairs and Holy Places, whose method uses Fajr and Isha both at 18° below the horizon — the convention this page applies. The Shafi'i school is historically dominant, with a substantial Hanafi presence, so most Jordanian timetables use the standard first-shadow Asr while some mosques follow the later Hanafi time.
Amman's landmark mosques
The King Abdullah I Mosque in Amman, built between 1982 and 1989 as a memorial by King Hussein to his grandfather, is instantly recognisable for its blue mosaic dome spanning some 35 metres, and is the one Amman mosque that regularly welcomes non-Muslim visitors. The King Hussein Bin Talal Mosque, completed in 2005, is the largest in the country. Together they anchor the religious life of a capital that has grown rapidly while keeping the daily rhythm of the five prayers at its centre.
