Jerada (جرادة) is a town of north-eastern Morocco, a provincial seat in the Oriental region, on the plateau south of Oujda. Located at roughly 34.31° north latitude and 2.16° west longitude, at mid-altitude on the high plateaus, it has a semi-arid continental climate: cold winters, hot summers. A former coal-mining town, Jerada sees its latitude and eastern position give its prayer times a marked seasonal swing.
Jerada was born in the 20th century from the coal mining that long sustained the town, until the mines closed in the late 1990s. It keeps the memory of this mining past and today seeks new callings. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite.
Religious life in Jerada sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition of the Oriental, carried by a network of neighbourhood mosques in a working-class town. The Friday prayer brings together former miners, employees and families. Ramadan is lived with a strong communal dimension. Several mosques bear the names of holy pilgrimage places or of great figures of Muslim history, such as Youssef ibn Tachfine, founder of the Almoravids.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Jerada 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 latitude (~34.3° N), the plateau altitude and the eastern position give Jerada 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 east of the country, the town has earlier sunrises and sunsets than the west. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
Jerada has several neighbourhood mosques, with names evoking the holy places or Muslim history. Here are some of the most notable.
A mosque dedicated to Youssef ibn Tachfine, the Almoravid ruler who founded Marrakech (11th century).
'Al-Mach'ar al-Haram' refers to a sacred site of the Mecca pilgrimage (Muzdalifa). On Boulevard Hassan II.
A mosque evoking As-Safa and Al-Marwa, the two hills walked between during the pilgrimage rite.
A mosque dedicated to Abdullah ibn Massoud, a companion of the Prophet renowned for his mastery of the Quran.
'An-Nour' ('the light') is one of the names of God. A neighbourhood mosque.
