El Hajeb (الحاجب) is a town on the rim of the Middle Atlas, a provincial seat in the Fès-Meknès region, overlooking the Saïss plain. Located at roughly 33.68° north latitude and 5.37° west longitude, at about 1,050 metres of altitude atop the escarpment, it has a continental climate: cool winters, hot summers. Renowned for its kasbah, its apple orchards and its vineyards, El Hajeb sees its altitude and latitude give its prayer times a marked seasonal swing.
El Hajeb ('the eyebrow', in reference to the escarpment that overlooks the plain) owes its kasbah to the Alaouite sultan Moulay Hassan I, who had it built at the end of the 19th century to control the land of the Beni M'Tir. An Amazigh foothill town, it has become an agricultural centre renowned for its fruit and its vines. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite.
Religious life in El Hajeb combines the Maliki Islamic tradition with the Amazigh identity of the Beni M'Tir. The mosques of the town and the douars set the rhythm of daily life. The Friday prayer brings together residents and farmers. Ramadan is lived with a strong communal dimension. One mosque is notably dedicated to the rightly-guided caliphs (Al-Khoulafa Ar-Rachidoun).
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in El Hajeb 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 altitude of about 1,050 metres and the latitude (~33.7° N) give El Hajeb prayer times with a marked seasonal swing. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:25 and Maghrib around 17:45; in summer, Fajr falls around 04:20 and Isha around 21:55–22:25 depending on the method. The edge of the escarpment offers a wide horizon over the Saïss plain. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
El Hajeb has several mosques, including one dedicated to the rightly-guided caliphs. Here are some of the most notable.
A mosque dedicated to the four rightly-guided caliphs (Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman and Ali), successors of the Prophet.
'Al-Kawthar' ('abundance') is the title of Surah 108 of the Quran. A busy mosque in the town.
A mosque dedicated to the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), 'the intimate friend of God'.
The mosque of Aït Saïd, with an Amazigh name, one of the town's places of prayer.
