Prayer Times in Kermanshah
Kermanshah observes Iran Standard Time (UTC+3:30) all year, with no daylight saving since Iran discontinued the clock change, so prayer times move only with the natural progression of the seasons. At about 34°N the city sees a clear seasonal swing: long summer days push Fajr earlier in the morning and Isha well into the evening, while shorter winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and shorten the gap between prayers. The city's high inland elevation does not change the calculated times, which follow the Institute of Geophysics, University of Tehran method, the standard reference used across Iran.
Ramadan in Kermanshah
During Ramadan, the daily fast in Kermanshah runs from Fajr to Maghrib, so the suhoor and iftar times follow the same seasonal pattern as the rest of the year. When Ramadan falls in the summer, the long daylight hours at this latitude make for an extended fasting day, while a winter Ramadan brings noticeably shorter fasts as Maghrib arrives earlier in the afternoon.
Worshippers in the city typically gather for the evening Isha and Taraweeh prayers at mosques across Kermanshah's neighbourhoods. The Fajr and Maghrib times shown on this page mark the start and end of each fasting day, calculated for the city using the Institute of Geophysics, University of Tehran method.
