Prayer times in Basra are shown using the Egyptian General Authority method, which is the mainstream choice in Iraq. Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Malaysia, parts of Africa.
Fajr begins at true dawn and ends at sunrise. Dhuhr starts just after the sun passes its zenith. Asr begins when the shadow of an object equals its own length. Maghrib begins at sunset. Isha begins when the red twilight disappears. Small variations of a minute or two between apps and mosques are normal and come from the ihtiyat (safety margin) some bodies add.
On Friday, Jumu'ah takes the place of Dhuhr. The khutbah in most mosques begins shortly after Dhuhr enters, which is 11:49 AM in Basra today. Every masjid sets its own iqamah, and larger mosques often hold two sittings, so confirm with your local mosque before you set out.
For those fasting, suhoor ends when Fajr begins, 3:56 AM today, and the fast is opened at Maghrib, 6:10 PM. These two rows of the table above are the ones to watch in Ramadan and on any voluntary fast.
