Prayer Times in Al ‘Amārah Today
Times for Al ‘Amārah follow the Muslim World League. Calculation authorities differ on how far below the horizon the sun must sit for Fajr to begin and Isha to end, which is the main reason published times vary between sources. Iraq conventionally follows this authority, and it can be changed from the controls on this page if your mosque follows another.
At 31.8° north, Al ‘Amārah has a pronounced seasonal swing — daylight can differ by four hours or more between June and December. In the long summer, Fajr and Isha crowd together at either end of a short night.
Asr in Al ‘Amārah is shown by the standard reckoning used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools, which marks its start when an object's shadow equals its own length. The Hanafi school uses twice that length, falling roughly an hour later depending on the season. Both are long-established positions; the juristic school can be switched on this page.
These times are computed for 31.8356°N, 47.1448°E in the Asia/Baghdad timezone. Because the calculation is tied to coordinates rather than to a city boundary, mosques a few kilometres away may publish times a minute or two apart, and many add a small precautionary margin of their own.
