Berkane (بركان) is a town of north-eastern Morocco, a provincial seat in the Oriental region, at the foot of the Beni Snassen mountains and near the lower Moulouya. Located at roughly 34.92° north latitude and 2.32° west longitude, in an agricultural plain, it has a Mediterranean climate: mild, humid winters, hot summers. Morocco's citrus capital, famous for its clementine, Berkane sees its high latitude and eastern position give its prayer times a marked seasonal swing.
Berkane developed in the 20th century as the centre of the rich agricultural Triffa plain, irrigated by the Moulouya, becoming Morocco's citrus capital — the Berkane clementine is renowned throughout the country. Backing onto the Beni Snassen, the town mixes Arab and Amazigh populations. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite.
Religious life in Berkane sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition of the Oriental, carried by the central grand mosque and a network of neighbourhood mosques. The Friday prayer brings together farmers, merchants and residents. Ramadan is lived with a strong communal dimension. Several mosques bear the names of great figures of Islam, such as the caliph Omar or the scholar Qadi Iyad, a famous Maliki jurist.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Berkane 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 high latitude (~34.9° N) and the eastern position give Berkane prayer times with a marked seasonal swing. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:20 and Maghrib around 17:30; in summer, Fajr falls around 04:05 and Isha around 21:55–22:25 depending on the method. Located in the far east of the country, the town has some of the earliest sunrises and sunsets in Morocco, and the Beni Snassen frame the horizon. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
Berkane has many mosques, several of which bear the names of great figures of Islam. Here are some of the most notable.
The large central mosque (Mohammed V), the town's main place of prayer.
A mosque dedicated to Omar ibn al-Khattab, the second rightly-guided caliph and a companion of the Prophet.
A mosque dedicated to Qadi Iyad (died 1149), a great Maliki scholar of Ceuta, author of 'Ash-Shifa' about the Prophet.
'Al-Hijra' means the Prophet's emigration from Mecca to Medina, which marks the start of the Muslim calendar.
'Khaybar' evokes the Khaybar campaign (year 7 of the Hijra). A mosque called 'tamezgida' in Amazigh.
'Al-Masjid al-Atiq', one of the town's oldest mosques, on Boulevard Hassan II.
