How Akowonjo's prayer times are worked out

From Akowonjo, the Qibla is 63° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,254 km (2,643 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Akowonjo's own coordinates (6.61°N, 3.31°E), not a national average. That is why Akowonjo's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Akowonjo sits just 6.61°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 47m. The shortest is about 12h 59m. That is a swing of only 0h 48m between June and December. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Akowonjo 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 Alimosho, Ikeja and Oshodi. Each is only a few minutes off Akowonjo's clock.
