Prayer Times in Ras Al Khaimah
Ras Al Khaimah is the UAE's northernmost emirate, pressed against the Hajar Mountains and facing the Strait of Hormuz. Its geography — about 90 km north of Dubai — means prayer times are roughly 2 minutes later for Fajr and Maghrib. Coordinates: 25.7895°N, 55.9432°E. Method: IACAD (method=16).
RAK's dramatic topography includes Jebel Jais, the UAE's highest peak (1,934 m). For prayer times at altitude, the time difference from the city is under a minute — negligible for daily use.
Calculation Method
Ras Al Khaimah prayer times on Dhikr use the IACAD method (method=16), the standard published by the UAE's Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department. Every official UAE mosque uses this method, so the times shown match what you hear from the minarets.
Jumu'ah in Ras Al Khaimah
Jumu'ah (Friday congregational prayer) time in Ras Al Khaimah follows the official GAIAE decree applied across all UAE emirates — typically 12:15 PM in summer and 12:30 PM in winter. The khutba begins shortly after the adhan. Smaller neighborhood mosques and major city mosques synchronize to the same decree.
Sunnah Rak'ahs
Each obligatory prayer carries emphasized Sunnah rak'ahs narrated in authentic hadith. Dhikr shows them alongside the main times with the hadith collection and number — so every claim is verifiable. See the Hadith Reader for the full narrations.
