Oujda (وجدة) is the major city of eastern Morocco, the seat of the Oriental region, very close to the Algerian border. Located at roughly 34.68° north latitude and 1.91° west longitude, on a plateau between the Rif and the High Plateaus, it has a semi-arid continental climate: hot, dry summers, cool winters. Historically, Oujda is Morocco's gateway to the rest of the Maghreb. Its latitude and inland position produce prayer times with a marked seasonal swing.
Oujda was founded in 994 by Ziri ibn Attia, chief of the Zenata Berber tribe of the Maghraoua. Its position on the route linking Morocco to Algeria and Ifriqiya made it, over the centuries, a crossroads disputed between dynasties. The city preserves an old medina and a border-town identity, at the crossroads of Moroccan influences and those of the whole eastern Maghreb. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite common to the Kingdom.
Religious life in Oujda combines the Moroccan Islamic tradition with the identity of a major city of the Oriental. Several of its mosques bear the names of Andalusian and Maghrebi scholars — a sign of the city's rootedness in the scholarly culture of the Muslim West. The Friday prayer brings together a large crowd, and Ramadan is lived with a strong communal dimension. The large Mohammed VI mosque is among the city's main places of prayer.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Oujda 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. Located at the far east of the country, Oujda follows the same national calendar, set from Rabat. During Ramadan, Morocco suspends summer time, shifting prayer times by about an hour.
The relatively high latitude (~34.7° N) and the continental position give Oujda prayer times with a marked seasonal swing, with hot, dry summers. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:20 and Maghrib around 17:30; in summer, Fajr falls around 04:00 and Isha around 21:45–22:15 depending on the method. As the easternmost city in Morocco, Oujda has a slightly earlier sunrise and sunset than the west of the country. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
Oujda has many mosques, several of which bear the names of great figures of Islamic learning. Here are some of the most notable.
A large modern mosque, one of Oujda's main places of prayer.
A mosque bearing the name of Ibn Hazm of Córdoba (994–1064), one of the great thinkers and jurists of Muslim Andalusia.
A mosque dedicated to Imam al-Shatibi (died 1194), an Andalusian scholar famous for his work on Quranic readings (qira'at).
A mosque bearing the name of Amna bint Wahb, the mother of the Prophet Muhammad.
'Taiba' is one of the traditional names of Medina. A busy mosque on Boulevard Oum Rabia.
