Prayer times in Az̧ Z̧a‘āyin — common questions

What time is Fajr in Az̧ Z̧a‘āyin today?

Fajr in Az̧ Z̧a‘āyin begins at 03:38 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from Az̧ Z̧a‘āyin?

From Az̧ Z̧a‘āyin, the Qibla is 251.2° from true north — roughly WSW. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.

Which calculation method is used for Az̧ Z̧a‘āyin?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Qatar. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.

How much does daylight change through the year in Az̧ Z̧a‘āyin?

Day length in Az̧ Z̧a‘āyin ranges from about 10.5 hours at midwinter to 13.7 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 3.2 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

How far is Az̧ Z̧a‘āyin from Makkah?

Az̧ Z̧a‘āyin lies approximately 1275 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
