Prayer times in Libya

Libya is a Muslim-majority country with approximately 96.6 percent of the population identifying as Muslim, predominantly Sunni of the Maliki school, with a small Ibadi minority concentrated in the Nafusa Mountains and the city of Zuwara, and historically a small Sufi presence anchored in the Sanusiyya order founded by Muhammad ibn Ali al-Sanusi in 1837 in Mecca and later transferred to Cyrenaica. The Sanusi tradition was deeply influential in the resistance to Italian colonization and was institutionalized under King Idris I (1951–1969), Libya's only monarch and the grandson of the order's founder. The Atiq Mosque of Awjila, dating to around the seventh century in some accounts and rebuilt in subsequent centuries, is among the oldest mosques in North Africa and architecturally unique for its conical mud-brick domes. The Mosque of Sidi Khalifa in Tripoli and the Karamanli Mosque (1738) are among the oldest functioning urban mosques. The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs and the General Authority of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs have governed mosque administration through changing political regimes. eSalah uses the MWL default; the Algerian method is offered as a regionally-tested alternate.
