How Ādīgrat's prayer times are worked out

From Ādīgrat, the Qibla is 3° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 795 km (494 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ādīgrat's own coordinates (14.28°N, 39.46°E), not a national average. That is why Ādīgrat's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ādīgrat timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ādīgrat lies well west inside its Addis Ababa time zone. So the sun peaks about 31 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:21 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 18m near June down to 12h 34m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ādīgrat come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. 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 Wik’ro, Adwa and Aksum. Each is only a few minutes off Ādīgrat's clock.
