How prayer times are calculated in Iraq

Pages for Iraq use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+3). In the capital Baghdad, Fajr is about 3:10 AM and Maghrib 7:15 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:33 AM and Maghrib at 4:59 PM. Daylight there ranges from 9 h 57 min to 14 h 22 min.

Our cities in Iraq stretch from Ar Ruţbah in the west to Al Fāw in the east, and from Beguva in the north to Al Fāw in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Al Fāw about 33 minutes before Ar Ruţbah, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Baghdad is no substitute for that of your own city.

Ramadan in Iraq

During Ramadan 1448 AH (expected on 8 February 2027), the fast in Baghdad lasts roughly 12 h 11 min at the start of the month and 13 h 06 min at the end, with imsak at 5:19 AM and iftar at 5:40 PM on the first day. Times differ from one city to another, so open your city’s page for its exact Ramadan timetable.

To reach your city quickly, type its name in the search box at the top of the page, or browse the regions above. On every page you will find today’s times with a countdown, a monthly timetable you can print and links to nearby cities.
