How the times are worked out
Prayer times depend on the position of the sun, so they change a little every day. The times above are calculated for Manama with the Gulf Region method. Bahrain’s Ministry of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Endowments publishes the official timetable, which mosques follow, so the azan in your area may be a few minutes different from this table.
Sunni and Shia timings
Bahrain has both Sunni and Shia mosques, and they do not always pray at the same moment. Shia (Ja’fari) mosques usually pray Maghrib a little later, after the redness of sunset has faded, and some combine Dhuhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha. The table follows the Sunni timings used by most published timetables, so if you pray at a Shia mosque, follow its own times.
Asr: two times
Most Sunni mosques in Bahrain use the standard Asr time shown first. Followers of the Hanafi school, including many people from South Asia, pray Asr later, when an object’s shadow is twice its length, so the Hanafi time is shown as well.
Friday and Ramadan
Friday prayer (Jumu’ah) replaces Dhuhr on Fridays, with the sermon starting at around the Dhuhr time. In Ramadan, the Fajr time marks the end of suhoor and Maghrib is the time to break the fast.
