Şaḩam Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Şaḩam, Oman

Prayer times in Şaḩam are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (24.17°N). We use the Umm al-Qura method, the one followed across Oman. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Şaḩam's times use the Umm al-Qura method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Oman. They are drawn from Şaḩam's own coordinates (24.1722°N, 56.8886°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Şaḩam's prayer times are worked out

From Şaḩam, the Qibla is 263° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,774 km (1,103 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Şaḩam's own coordinates (24.17°N, 56.89°E), not a national average. That is why Şaḩam's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Şaḩam timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Şaḩam lies well west inside its Muscat time zone. So the sun peaks about 20 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:10 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 09m near June down to 12h 02m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Şaḩam 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. We also publish times for nearby Sohar, Al Khābūrah and As Suwayq. Each is only a few minutes off Şaḩam's clock.
