Prayer times in Jordan

Default method: jordan-awqaf · Capital: Amman · 5 regions indexed

Jordan is a Muslim-majority country with approximately 97 percent of the population identifying as Muslim, predominantly Sunni of the Shafi'i and Hanafi schools with a small Druze, Twelver Shia, and Ismaili presence. Islam is the state religion under the constitution, and the Hashemite royal family traces descent from the Prophet Muhammad through Hasan ibn Ali. The country contains numerous sites of Islamic significance: the Tomb of Ja'far ibn Abi Talib (the Prophet's cousin, killed at the Battle of Mu'tah in 629 CE) at Mu'tah and the Tomb of Zayd ibn Haritha at the same site are among the earliest Islamic-era graves; the Tomb of Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah at the Jordan Valley and various other companion tombs across the country mark the Muslim conquest of the Levant. The King Abdullah I Mosque in Amman, opened in 1989, is the principal congregational mosque of the capital. The Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought in Amman is a major scholarly body. The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs oversees mosque administration. eSalah uses the Jordan Awqaf method (the corrected default per A.5).
