Prayer Times in Manama — December 2024

Reading the December 2024 table

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Manama — Monday, 31 August 2026 — is Fajr at 03:55, Dhuhr at 11:38, Asr at 15:08, Maghrib at 18:00 and Isha at 19:30. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 05:17. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Bahrain timezone (UTC+3), the Umm al-Qura University, Makkah convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Manama is listed under Capital in Bahrain. The engine uses 26.2285 latitude and 50.5860 longitude with IANA zone Asia/Bahrain. 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 200,000 people.

Manama 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 05:17 and Maghrib is at 18:00. Dhuhr (11:38) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Manama.

Calculation for Manama starts from Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. 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. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Manama (Bahrain) 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 Manama is 246.2° from true north (WSW), about 1,217 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 Khobar (39 km), prayer times in Dammam (54 km), prayer times in Al Rayyan (134 km), prayer times in Doha (141 km), prayer times in Shiraz (422 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.

The full August grid is on the Manama timetable for August 2026. A year view lives at prayer times in Manama for 2026. More cities in Bahrain are listed on the Bahrain prayer times page. Figures refresh automatically each day.

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 Manama is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
