How Aïn Defla's prayer times are worked out

From Aïn Defla, the Qibla is 104° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,007 km (2,490 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Aïn Defla's own coordinates (36.26°N, 1.97°E), not a national average. That is why Aïn Defla's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Aïn Defla timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Aïn Defla lies well west inside its Algiers time zone. So the sun peaks about 61 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:50 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 29m near June down to 11h 14m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Aïn Defla 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 Khemis Miliana, Chlef and Ech Chettia. Each is only a few minutes off Aïn Defla's clock.
