Salmiya Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Salmiya, Kuwait

Prayer times in Salmiya are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (29.34°N). We use the Kuwait method, the one followed across Kuwait. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Salmiya's times use the Kuwait method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Kuwait. They are drawn from Salmiya's own coordinates (29.3394°N, 48.0507°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Salmiya's prayer times are worked out

From Salmiya, the Qibla is 225° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,206 km (750 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Salmiya's own coordinates (29.34°N, 48.05°E), not a national average. That is why Salmiya's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Salmiya timetable through the year. With the Kuwait method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 37m around June. It eases to 11h 41m by December. That is a 3h 56m swing, set by the city's latitude of 29.34°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Salmiya come from Kuwait's Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs. The Kuwait method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17.5°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Salmiya sits east of its Kuwait meridian. The sun peaks about 5 minutes before noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:32 AM. We also publish times for nearby Ḩawallī, As Sālimīyah and Ar Rumaythīyah. Each is only a few minutes off Salmiya's clock.
