Why Two Calendars Disagree
Two trusted calendars in Al Qatif can list Fajr a few minutes apart at 03:18 — the difference lies in angle (e.g. 18° vs 15°), not in error.
A 17°–18° Baseline
The Muslim World League baseline near 18° is one anchor for global Fajr times; in Al Qatif the chosen method (Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah) places 03:18 consistently with that science.
Dawn at 18.5°
Today’s 03:18 occurs the moment the sun reaches 18.5° beneath Al Qatif’s horizon — a measurement the unaided eye cannot make, which is why the calendar matters.
Imsak vs Fajr
Some calendars list an “imsak” a few minutes before Fajr; in fiqh, the binding cutoff in Al Qatif remains the 03:18 adhan itself.
A Month From Now
Thirty days from today, Al Qatif’s Fajr lands 20 minutes later than 03:18 — the sun has moved, and so has the prayer.
