How Akşehir's prayer times are worked out

From Akşehir, the Qibla is 154° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,048 km (1,272 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Akşehir's own coordinates (38.36°N, 31.42°E), not a national average. That is why Akşehir's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Akşehir timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Akşehir lies well west inside its Istanbul time zone. So the sun peaks about 63 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:40 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 47m near June down to 11h 05m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Akşehir come from Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Türkiye's state religious authority. The Diyanet 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 Bolvadin, Afyonkarahisar and Isparta. Each is only a few minutes off Akşehir's clock.
