How prayer times are calculated in Iraq
Times for the 154 cities we cover in Iraq use the MWL convention, which sets the twilight angles for Fajr and Isha. If your mosque follows a different authority, its times may differ by a few minutes — the astronomy is identical, only the convention changes.
Muslim World League — Fajr 18°, Isha 17°. Default across Europe.
Frequently asked questions
How many cities in Iraq are covered?
We calculate prayer times for 154 cities and towns in Iraq, each from its own coordinates rather than borrowed from a nearby larger city.
Which calculation method is used for Iraq?
The MWL convention is applied across Iraq by default, matching the authority most widely recognised there. Every city page states the method it used.
Do prayer times vary across Iraq?
Yes. Times shift with longitude and latitude, so cities in Iraq can differ by several minutes — and considerably more in countries spanning multiple time zones. Baghdad is shown first as the largest city, but use your own city's page for accurate times.
