Across September, Fajr in Doha moves from 03:49 on the 1st to 04:03 by the 30th (about 14 minutes later), while Maghrib shifts from 17:53 to 17:22 (about 31 minutes earlier).

About prayer times in Doha
These are the five daily prayer (namaz) times for Doha, Qatar - Fajr at dawn, Dhuhr at midday, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib just after sunset and Isha at night. Each azan (adhan) is called at the start of these times, and the five together are called salah (salat).
Doha's times are calculated from the sun's position for the city's coordinates (25.2854, 51.531) each day, in the Asia/Qatar timezone, using the Gulf Region method - common across the Gulf states. Because the calculation follows the sun, the exact minutes change a little every day. The Asr time shown uses the standard (Shafi) position; communities following the Hanafi school pray Asr later. For the precise start of Fajr and Isha, where twilight is gradual, follow your local Doha mosque.
