The Five Daily Prayers in Mohammedia
Like everywhere in Morocco, Muslims in Mohammedia observe five obligatory prayers each day. Here is how awkat salat Mohammedia breaks down:
- As-Sobh (Fajr) — The pre-dawn prayer, performed before sunrise. In Mohammedia, Fajr falls between 5:15 AM and 6:30 AM depending on the season.
- Ad-Dohr (Dhuhr) — The midday prayer, performed after the sun passes its zenith. Typically between 12:25 PM and 1:10 PM in Mohammedia.
- Al-Asr — The afternoon prayer, performed when an object's shadow exceeds its length.
- Al-Maghrib — The sunset prayer, called immediately after sunset. This also marks iftar time during Ramadan.
- Al-Isha — The night prayer, performed after twilight disappears.

How Are Prayer Times Calculated in Mohammedia?
Official Moroccan Method
The calculation of prayer times in Mohammedia is based on precise astronomical rules approved by the Supreme Council of Ulema:
- Fajr: sun angle at -18° below the horizon (morning astronomical twilight)
- Isha: sun angle at -18° below the horizon (evening astronomical twilight)
- Asr: based on the Maliki school (Shafi'i I), when an object's shadow equals its own length
- Maghrib: immediately after the apparent sunset
Geographical Coordinates of Mohammedia
The accuracy of awkat salat Mohammedia depends on the city's geographical coordinates:
| Data Point | Value |
|---|---|
| Latitude | 33.6861° N |
| Longitude | 7.3828° W |
| Average altitude | ~25 m |
| Time zone | UTC+1 (year-round, except during Ramadan) |
Since 2019 Morocco has remained on UTC+1 year-round (with the exception of Ramadan), so Mohammedia's prayer times stay stable throughout the year.
Ramadan Exception: Temporary Clock Change
During Ramadan, Morocco temporarily switches back to GMT (UTC+0). This transition affects the times displayed for Mohammedia, especially:
- Maghrib (iftar time) shifts by one hour
- Fajr (start of the daily fast, sobh) is also adjusted
- Tarawih prayers in Mohammedia take place late at night
Our tool detects this change automatically and always shows correct times.

Tips to Never Miss a Prayer in Mohammedia
1. Enable phone reminders
Most Islamic apps offer automatic reminders 10-15 minutes before each awkat salat Mohammedia. You can also configure 5 daily alarms using your phone's clock.
2. Build a mosque routine
Mosques in Mohammedia sound the adhan at the start of each prayer. If you live nearby, the muezzin's call is the most reliable reminder — and a chance to perform the prayer in congregation, 27 times more meritorious according to a hadith of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
3. Plan your day around Maghrib
In Mohammedia, sunset (Maghrib) marks the end of the religious workday. Whether for family meals, appointments, or Ramadan iftar, knowing the Maghrib time helps you organize your schedule.
4. Double-check times during Ramadan
The month of Ramadan 2026 (1447 AH) will likely begin in late February or early March. Tarawih, Suhoor (before Fajr) and Iftar (Maghrib) times are critical in Mohammedia — our dedicated calendar will guide you through the blessed month.
The Importance of Praying on Time
Allah says in the Quran:
"Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times." — Surah An-Nisa (4:103)
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also said:
"The most beloved deed to Allah is prayer offered on time." — Sahih Al-Bukhari
Delaying a prayer beyond its prescribed wakt (time) without a valid reason is a major sin in Islam. That's why it's essential to check Mohammedia prayer times daily and plan your day accordingly.
