Prayer Times in Umm ar Rizam, Libya

Umm ar Rizam prayer times explained

Sunrise 6:43 am, sunset 5:40 pm — about 10 hours and 57 minutes of daylight in Umm ar Rizam today. Prayer times are anchored to the sun rather than the clock, so as that figure grows and shrinks across the year, every time below moves with it.

Where these times come from

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

Which way to face in Umm ar Rizam

Face east-south-east — roughly 122° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. That puts the Kaaba roughly 2,070 km — 1,286 miles — from here.

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 5:17 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 5:40 pm. Around 12 hours and 23 minutes without food or water today. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

How much the times move

Umm ar Rizam sits far enough from the equator for the difference to be felt. Midsummer stretches the day, midwinter compresses it, and the prayer times follow.
