Prayer Times in Soran, Iraq
Soranprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (36.6556°N, 44.5422°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Iraq. 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 Soran'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 Soran prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Soran's prayer times are worked out
Soran sits 1,754 km (1,090 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 196° from true north — you face south to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Iraq 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 Soran. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 32m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 12m in December: a swing of 5h 20m across the year. That spread is set by Soran's latitude (36.66°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Soran does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Asia/Baghdad time zone, the sun peaks about 10 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 12:09 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Hajiawa, Piranshahr, Rānyah — close enough that their times differ from Soran's by only a few minutes.
Prayer times in a two-tradition country
Iraq's religious life runs on two great traditions side by side. Sunni mosques call Maghrib at sunset, while Shia practice waits some ten to fifteen minutes for the eastern sky to lose its redness (zawal al-humra) — so two nearby mosques can call the evening prayer at slightly different moments, and both are correct within their own school. This page uses the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) applied to this city's coordinates, the widespread standard convention; followers of Ja'fari timing should expect their mosque's Maghrib a few minutes later. Iraq keeps a single time zone (UTC+3) with no daylight saving.
Najaf, Karbala, Kufa, Baghdad
Few countries carry Iraq's density of sacred geography: the shrine of Imam Ali in Najaf and the shrines of Karbala draw millions of pilgrims — the Arba'een walk to Karbala ranks among the largest annual gatherings on earth — while the Great Mosque of Kufa is one of the earliest mosques in Islam. In Baghdad, the Abu Hanifa Mosque in Adhamiyah holds the tomb of the founder of the Hanafi school, and the golden-domed al-Kadhimiya shrine faces it across the Tigris — the two traditions living within one city, as they have for centuries.
