Khouribga (خريبكة) is an inland city of Morocco, on the phosphate plateau of the centre of the country, at about 800 metres of altitude. Located at roughly 32.88° north latitude and 6.91° west longitude, in a zone of semi-arid plateaus, it has a continental climate: hot, dry summers, cool winters. The world capital of phosphate, it was built around the mining of one of the largest deposits on the planet. Its mid-range latitude gives its prayer times a marked seasonal swing.
Khouribga is an essentially modern city, born in the 1920s with the start of phosphate mining, of which the region holds immense reserves. Developed by the Office Chérifien des Phosphates, it became a major mining and industrial centre, at the heart of the world's largest phosphate basin. Its growth is inseparable from this strategic resource of the Kingdom. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite, common to all of Morocco.
Religious life in Khouribga sits within the Moroccan Maliki Islamic tradition, carried by a dense network of neighbourhood mosques within a working-class, cosmopolitan city. The Friday prayer brings together miners, employees and families from all over the country. Ramadan is lived with a strong communal dimension. The city's mosques often bear the names of the great figures of Islam — caliphs, companions and scholars of hadith.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Khouribga 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 mid-range latitude (~32.9° N) and the altitude of about 800 metres give Khouribga prayer times with a marked seasonal swing. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:25 and Maghrib around 17:45; in summer, under often strong heat, Fajr falls around 04:25 and Isha around 21:50–22:20 depending on the method. The open plateau offers a clear horizon, with no major relief to mask the sunset towards the west. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
Khouribga's mosques often bear the names of great figures of Islam — caliphs, wives and companions of the Prophet, scholars of hadith. Here are some of the most notable.
A mosque dedicated to Othman ibn Affan, the third rightly-guided caliph, who had the text of the Quran compiled into a unified codex.
A mosque bearing the name of Imam Muslim (died 875), author of the 'Sahih Muslim', one of the two most authentic hadith collections.
A large mosque bearing the name of King Hassan II, one of the city's main places of prayer.
A mosque dedicated to Aisha, wife of the Prophet Muhammad, honoured with the title 'Oum al-Mouminine' (mother of the believers).
A mosque dedicated to Hamza, the Prophet's uncle and a martyr of the Battle of Uhud, nicknamed 'the lion of God'.
'At-Tawhid' means the oneness of God, the foundation of Muslim faith. A neighbourhood mosque.
