Prayer Times in Baghdad

Today in Baghdad (Sunday, 8 November 2026, 28 Jumada al-Ula 1448 AH), Fajr is at 05:02, sunrise at 06:27, Dhuhr at 11:47, Asr at 14:43, Maghrib at 17:05 and Isha at 18:25 local time (UTC+3).

The times are calculated for 33.3152°, 44.3661° with the Muslim World League (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) method, the convention most widely used in Iraq, and the Standard (Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) rule for Asr. Your local mosque may add a few minutes of precaution or use a different method, so its timetable takes precedence.

The qibla from Baghdad is 200° from true north (SSW), on the great-circle route to the Ka'bah 1,396 km away. Today at 12:52 the sun stands exactly in the direction of the qibla, so shadows point directly away from it, an easy way to check the direction without a compass.

On the June solstice, the longest day of the year in Baghdad, Fajr is at 03:10, Maghrib at 19:15 and Isha at 20:52; the time from Fajr to Maghrib, the length of a fast, is 16 h 05 min. On the December solstice, Fajr is at 05:33 and Maghrib at 16:59, a fast of only 11 h 26 min.

Ramadan moves about 11 days earlier every year, so over a 33-year cycle the fasting day in Baghdad ranges between these two lengths. See the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Baghdad for suhoor and iftar times.
