Muslims and mosques in Oman
Oman is the only country where the Ibadi school of Islam is dominant. About 95% of the population is Muslim, and the Ibadis and the Sunnis each make up roughly 45 to 47% of Muslims, with about 5% Shia (one table in the same sources gives 47.4% Ibadi, 47.4% Sunni and 5.26% Shia), according to the US State Department and the CIA World Factbook, whose figures differ slightly. Ibadism is named after Abdallah ibn Ibad and traces its roots to the early Kharijite movement that emerged after the Battle of Siffin in 657 CE. Ibadis reached Oman around 700 CE, and although they were not at first the majority they became the ruling sect through strong organisation and tribal support.
The Ibadi imamate shaped Omani history. The first Ibadi state was established around 750 CE and fell to the Abbasids in 752, a second Ibadi state existed from 793 until the Abbasids recaptured the country in 893, and the imamate in the interior survived as a political entity until the Jebel Akhdar War of 1954 to 1959. Ibadi scholars, led by the Grand Mufti, still guide religious life, and the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs oversees the country's mosques and imams.
Oman's religious map is mixed, and the state builds mosques for more than one community. At least seven Twelver Shia mosques exist in Muscat, and in November 2022 the largest Shia mosque in the country opened there on a 30,000 square metre plot with a building area of 12,820 square metres. It was built on the orders of the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs, and the minister attended its inauguration. The Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat, opened in 2001, is the best known mosque in the country and is open to visitors at set hours.
For prayer times, Oman keeps one time zone, UTC+4, with no daylight saving. Muscat is at 23.6 degrees north. On this site's calculation the fast from Fajr to Maghrib in Muscat lasts about 15 hours on 21 June and 12 hours on 21 December. This site uses the Umm al-Qura method for Oman. The start of Ramadan and Eid is announced by the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs, and since the Omani authorities decide their calendar themselves, neighbouring countries may not begin the month on the same day. Congregation times are set by each mosque.

Prayer times in Oman: common questions
How many cities in Oman does Awqatly cover?
28 cities and towns in Oman. Every one has its own page with today's prayer times, the next prayer, a monthly timetable and the qibla direction.
How are prayer times calculated in Oman?
For each city we use its own latitude, longitude and time zone with the Muslim World League method (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) and Standard Asr. These are the astronomical start times of each prayer.
Which Asr time does Oman use?
We show Standard Asr first for Oman, and every city page also shows the other school so you can choose. The difference is the length of the shadow that marks the start of Asr.
Do the times change during the year in Oman?
Yes. The sun's path shifts every day, so every prayer moves a little daily. The gap between Fajr and Maghrib is longest in summer and shortest in winter, and more so the further a city is from the equator.
Are these times the same as my local mosque's timetable?
These are the start times of each prayer. Mosques publish congregation (jamaat) times, usually a few minutes to an hour later, and some add safety minutes. We do not publish congregation times, so check with your mosque.
How do I find the prayer times for my city in Oman?
Choose your city from the lists on this page, search for it, or allow your location on the home page. A city page shows today's times, a monthly timetable, the qibla and the mosques nearby.
