Prayer Times in Al Rayyan — 2028

Accurate prayer times for Al Rayyan on Monday, 31 August 2026: Fajr 03:54, Shuruq 05:14, Dhuhr 11:35, Asr 15:04, Maghrib 17:56, Isha 19:26. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Qatar timezone (UTC+3), the Umm al-Qura University, Makkah convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Al Rayyan is listed under Al Rayyan in Qatar. The engine uses 25.2919 latitude and 51.4244 longitude with IANA zone Asia/Qatar. A mosque a few kilometres away will usually match these times to the minute; a different city, even in the same metro area, can drift by two to five minutes because longitude shifts solar noon. The listed population is about 600,000 people.

Al Rayyan is close enough to the tropics that twilight angles are usually reached every night of the year. High-latitude patches are rarely needed. In August 2026 the sun rises at 05:14 and Maghrib is at 17:56. Dhuhr (11:35) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Al Rayyan.

The Umm al-Qura University, Makkah method is the starting point on this Al Rayyan page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. Official Gulf tables generally follow Umm al-Qura, with Isha a fixed interval after Maghrib rather than a twilight angle.

Al Rayyan (Qatar) has both long-established and newer Muslim communities. Jumu'ah times are set by each mosque and are not computed here — only the five daily prayers and sunrise.

Qibla from Al Rayyan is 252.4° from true north (WSW), about 1,259 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Doha (11 km), prayer times in Manama (134 km), prayer times in Khobar (160 km), prayer times in Dammam (183 km), prayer times in Abu Dhabi (312 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Al Rayyan is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
