How Abū Ḩummuş's prayer times are worked out

From Abū Ḩummuş, the Qibla is 136° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,432 km (890 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Abū Ḩummuş's own coordinates (31.09°N, 30.31°E), not a national average. That is why Abū Ḩummuş's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Abū Ḩummuş timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 59m around June. It eases to 11h 42m by December. That is a 4h 17m swing, set by the city's latitude of 31.09°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Abū Ḩummuş come from the Egyptian General Authority of Survey. The Egyptian method sets Fajr when the sun is 19.5° below the horizon, and Isha at 17.5°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Abū Ḩummuş sits west of its Cairo meridian. The sun peaks about 7 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:57 PM. We also publish times for nearby Damanhur, ‘Izbat ‘Alī as Sayyid and Kafr ad Dawwār. Each is only a few minutes off Abū Ḩummuş's clock.
