Dhuhr Prayer in Omdurman — Frequently Asked Questions

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

What time is Dhuhr today in Omdurman?
Dhuhr in Omdurman, Sudan begins today (Friday, August 21, 2026) at 11:53 local time (Africa/Khartoum). It starts the moment the sun passes its zenith and continues until the start of Asr at 15:05.
Why is Dhuhr called 'the middle prayer' in some sources?
Some classical commentators identify Dhuhr as the 'middle prayer' (al-salat al-wusta) mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah 2:238 — the prayer at the high point of the daily cycle. Other scholars hold Asr to be the middle prayer; both views are valid and the dua of either prayer benefits the worshipper.
What is the difference between Dhuhr and Jumu'ah on Friday?

Can Dhuhr be combined with Asr?
