Prayer Times in Torbat-e Jām, Iran
Torbat-e Jāmprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (35.2440°N, 60.6225°E) using the Tehran calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Iran. 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 Torbat-e Jām'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 Torbat-e Jām prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Torbat-e Jām's prayer times are worked out
Torbat-e Jām sits 2,541 km (1,579 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 238° from true north — you face southwest to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Iran follows the Tehran method set by the Institute of Geophysics, Tehran: Fajr begins when the sun is 17.7° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 14°. 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 Torbat-e Jām. Measured with the Tehran method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 38m around June, while the shortest is roughly 11h 36m in December: a swing of 5h 02m across the year. That spread is set by Torbat-e Jām's latitude (35.24°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Torbat-e Jām does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well east within its Asia/Tehran time zone, the sun peaks about 25 minutes before clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 11:34 AM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Torbat-e Ḩeydarīyeh, Mashhad, Herāt — close enough that their times differ from Torbat-e Jām's by only a few minutes.
Iranian prayer times work differently
Iran follows Ja'fari (Twelver Shia) fiqh, and its prayer times are not simply a variant of the Sunni ones — the rules themselves differ. Asr does not wait for a shadow to reach one or two object-lengths: its time begins after the interval needed to pray Dhuhr, and in practice Dhuhr and Asr are prayed back to back. Maghrib differs too. Rather than beginning at sunset, it is delayed until the redness in the eastern sky has passed overhead — implemented as the sun sitting roughly 4 to 4.5 degrees below the horizon — and Maghrib and Isha are then typically combined. The practical result is that many Iranians pray in three sittings a day rather than five. The national reference is the Institute of Geophysics at the University of Tehran (Fajr 17.7°, Isha 14°), the method used on this page.
Mashhad, Isfahan and the shrines
The Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad is the spiritual centre of Iranian Shia life. Its complex covers about 1.2 million square metres — the largest mosque in the world by area after the sanctuaries of Mecca and Medina — and draws roughly 30 million pilgrims a year, making it the most visited pilgrimage site in Islam after the Hajj. Within the same complex stands the Goharshad Mosque, commissioned by the Timurid empress Goharshad and completed around 1430. In Isfahan, the Shah (Imam) Mosque on Naqsh-e Jahan Square, begun in 1611, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and among the finest works of Safavid architecture.
