Zābol's times use the Tehran method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Iran. They are drawn from Zābol's own coordinates (31.0306°N, 61.4949°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Zābol's prayer times are worked out

From Zābol, the Qibla is 249° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,405 km (1,494 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Zābol's own coordinates (31.03°N, 61.49°E), not a national average. That is why Zābol's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Zābol timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Zābol lies well east inside its Tehran time zone. So the sun peaks about 28 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:21 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 06m near June down to 11h 52m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Zābol come from the Institute of Geophysics, Tehran. The Tehran method sets Fajr when the sun is 17.7° below the horizon, and Isha at 14°. 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 Zahedan, Bīrjand and Khāsh. Each is only a few minutes off Zābol's clock.
