Prayer Times in Şanlıurfa, Turkey
Prayer times in Şanlıurfa are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (37.17°N). We use the Diyanet method, the one followed across Turkey. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Şanlıurfa's times use the Diyanet method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Turkey. They are drawn from Şanlıurfa's own coordinates (37.1671°N, 38.7939°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Şanlıurfa's prayer times are worked out
From Şanlıurfa, the Qibla is 176° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,754 km (1,090 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Şanlıurfa's own coordinates (37.17°N, 38.79°E), not a national average. That is why Şanlıurfa's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Şanlıurfa timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Şanlıurfa lies well west inside its Istanbul time zone. So the sun peaks about 33 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:31 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 36m near June down to 11h 10m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Şanlıurfa come from Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Türkiye's state religious authority. The Diyanet 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 Suruç, ‘Ayn al ‘Arab and Kâhta. Each is only a few minutes off Şanlıurfa's clock.

Who sets prayer times in Turkey
Turkey is the rare country with one truly national timetable. The Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı) publishes official prayer times for every province and district. Every mosque in the country calls the ezan by them. The Diyanet calculation uses Fajr at 18° and Isha at 17° below the horizon. Those are exactly the parameters this page applies to the city's own coordinates, so the times here track the official Turkish convention. Ramadan and Eid dates are announced centrally by the Diyanet too, so the whole country begins the fast on the same morning.
From the Blue Mosque to Süleymaniye
Turkey's skyline is inseparable from its mosques. Istanbul's Sultan Ahmed Mosque — the Blue Mosque, completed in 1616 with its six minarets — faces Hagia Sophia across the old hippodrome. Mimar Sinan's Süleymaniye (1557) crowns the third hill above the Golden Horn. Turkey spans some 19 degrees of longitude in a single time zone. So sunset in the east comes almost 80 minutes before the west: iftar in Kars is long finished while Izmir is still waiting. This page computes times for the city's own coordinates, so that east-west spread is already accounted for.
Mosques in Şanlıurfa
Mosques in and around Şanlıurfa include Hacı Bedia Oruç Cami, Hazreti Amine Cami, Hazreti Talha Cami, 11 Nisan Camii, Osman Ağan Cami and Hazreti Zubeyir Cami.
