Maghrib Prayer in Jerusalem — Frequently Asked Questions

Answers refreshed daily based on today's actual Maghrib time, sunrise, sunset, and Hijri date in Jerusalem.

What time is Maghrib today in Jerusalem?
Maghrib in Jerusalem, Israel begins today (Thursday, October 29, 2026) at 16:53 local time (Asia/Jerusalem), the moment the sun fully sets. The window closes at the start of Isha at 18:23.
How long is the Maghrib window?
Maghrib has the shortest window of the five daily prayers — typically 60–90 minutes, closing when the red twilight on the western horizon disappears. In Jerusalem today, the window runs from 16:53 to 18:23.
Can Maghrib be combined with Isha?
Yes — classical jurisprudence permits combining Maghrib and Isha (jam' al-taqdim or jam' al-ta'khir) under conditions of travel, heavy rain, or illness. In normal circumstances each is offered in its own window.
What dua is recommended at the moment of Maghrib?
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught the dua of breaking fast (which applies in Ramadan): "Dhahaba al-zama'u wabtallat al-'uruq wa thabata al-ajru in sha' Allah" — "Thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is established, God willing" (Abu Dawud).
How does today's Maghrib time in Jerusalem compare to the same date last year?
On this same date one year ago, Maghrib in Jerusalem was at 16:52 local time. Today it is at 16:53, which is 1 minutes later. This year-over-year drift reflects the gradual shift of the solar year and is the reason prayer times are recomputed astronomically every day rather than read from a static table.
How many rakat is Maghrib prayer?
Maghrib prayer consists of 3 Fard, 2 Sunnah (5 rakat in total). This breakdown follows the standard Sunni convention as taught by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
What direction is the Qibla from Jerusalem for Maghrib?
From Jerusalem, the Qibla bearing toward the Kaaba in Mecca is approximately 157° measured clockwise from true north. The same direction applies to every prayer of the day — only the time of Maghrib changes daily.
What is the spiritual significance of Maghrib?
Maghrib is the Witr of the daytime; its performance is a sign of gratitude.
Why are Maghrib's 3 rakat unusual?
Maghrib is the only obligatory prayer with an odd number of fard rakat. Scholars describe it as the 'witr of the day' — a fixed odd-numbered close to the daytime prayers, with Isha's witr being the odd close to the night.
