How Abū ‘Arīsh's prayer times are worked out

From Abū ‘Arīsh, the Qibla is 328° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 587 km (365 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Abū ‘Arīsh's own coordinates (16.97°N, 42.83°E), not a national average. That is why Abū ‘Arīsh's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Abū ‘Arīsh timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Abū ‘Arīsh lies well west inside its Riyadh time zone. So the sun peaks about 16 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:53 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 33m near June down to 12h 26m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Abū ‘Arīsh come from Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. The Umm al-Qura method sets Fajr when the sun is 18.5° below the horizon, and Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Şabyā, Jizan and Sa'dah. Each is only a few minutes off Abū ‘Arīsh's clock.
