Prayer Times in Rabat — 2023

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for Rabat — Monday, 31 August 2026 — is Fajr at 05:33, Dhuhr at 13:28, Asr at 17:05, Maghrib at 19:56 and Isha at 21:16. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 07:00. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Africa/Casablanca timezone (UTC+1), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Rabat: 34.0209, -6.8416. Time zone Africa/Casablanca (UTC+1) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The listed population is about 580,000 people.

For the latitude of Rabat, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 07:00 and Maghrib is 19:56. Dhuhr (13:28) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Morocco, and why this page is calculated from Rabat’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Rabat starts from Muslim World League. 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.

Travellers through Rabat should remember that airport and hotel clocks follow civil time, which this timetable already uses. Maghrib is tied to sunset at the city’s coordinates, not to the time a flight lands.

Qibla from Rabat is 94.6° from true north (E), about 4,758 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 Casablanca (85 km), prayer times in Fes (169 km), prayer times in Tangier (214 km), prayer times in Marrakesh (286 km), prayer times in Agadir (476 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 Rabat is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
