How Samā’il's prayer times are worked out

From Samā’il, the Qibla is 267° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,874 km (1,165 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Samā’il's own coordinates (23.30°N, 57.95°E), not a national average. That is why Samā’il's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Samā’il timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Samā’il lies well west inside its Muscat time zone. So the sun peaks about 16 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:06 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 04m near June down to 12h 05m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Samā’il 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 Barkā’, Seeb and Rustaq. Each is only a few minutes off Samā’il's clock.
