Prayer Times in Doha

Doha prayer times overview

For Doha it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.

Doha prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.

For Doha the coordinates 25.2854°N and 51.5310°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.

Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.

Today in Doha the sun rises at 05:03, while Maghrib begins at 18:16. Daylight lasts 13 часов 13 минут. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.

9 часов 24 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 18:16 and the morning Fajr at 03:40. For Doha this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.

In summer in Doha the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.

If you plan your day around the Doha prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:40 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 18:16 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 19:46 the start of the night prayer.

The Doha prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.
