Asilah (أصيلة) is a fortified coastal town of Morocco's northern Atlantic, in the Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma region, south of Tanger. Located at roughly 35.47° north latitude and 6.03° west longitude, on the ocean's edge, it has a mild oceanic climate: temperate summers, gentle winters. Renowned for its white medina ringed by ramparts and for its arts festival (murals), Asilah sees its high latitude give its prayer times a marked seasonal swing.
Asilah (the ancient Arzila) is an old coastal city, in turn an ancient trading post and a stronghold disputed between Morocco, the Portuguese and the Spanish, who fortified it in the 15th century. Its white medina and ramparts testify to this past. Since the 1970s, a cultural festival has covered its walls with murals renewed each summer. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite.
Religious life in Asilah sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition, carried by the mosques of the medina and the districts. The Friday prayer brings together fishermen, craftsmen and residents. Ramadan is lived with a strong communal dimension. One mosque bears the name of Moulay Abdessalam, a great venerated saint of northern Morocco.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Asilah follows rukyat, the official sighting of the crescent moon announced by the Ministry of Habous. This method can produce a one-day difference from the Saudi calendar, notably for Ramadan and the two Eids. During Ramadan, Morocco suspends summer time, shifting all prayer times by about an hour for the duration of the month.
The Atlantic coastal position and high latitude (~35.5° N) give Asilah prayer times with a marked seasonal swing. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:30 and Maghrib around 17:55; in summer, Fajr falls around 04:05 and Isha around 22:05–22:35 depending on the method. The open ocean horizon offers a sharp marker for Maghrib. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
Asilah has several mosques in its fortified medina. Here are some of the most notable.
'Al-Masjid al-Aadam' ('the great mosque') is the medina's main place of prayer.
A large, very busy mosque bearing the name of King Hassan II.
A mosque evoking Moulay Abdessalam ben Mchich, a major saint of northern Morocco and spiritual master of the Shadhili path.
A mosque honouring a scholar born in Asilah ('Al-Assili'), in the town's tradition of scholarship.
