Prayer times in Al Maţār al ‘Atīq — common questions

What time is Fajr in Al Maţār al ‘Atīq today?

Fajr in Al Maţār al ‘Atīq begins at 03:39 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 Al Maţār al ‘Atīq?

From Al Maţār al ‘Atīq, the Qibla is 252.8° 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 Al Maţār al ‘Atīq?

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 Al Maţār al ‘Atīq?

Day length in Al Maţār al ‘Atīq ranges from about 10.6 hours at midwinter to 13.7 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 3.1 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

How far is Al Maţār al ‘Atīq from Makkah?

Al Maţār al ‘Atīq lies approximately 1270 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.
