How Alaghsas's prayer times are worked out

From Alaghsas, the Qibla is 77° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,370 km (2,094 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Alaghsas's own coordinates (17.02°N, 8.02°E), not a national average. That is why Alaghsas's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Alaghsas timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Alaghsas lies well west inside its Niamey time zone. So the sun peaks about 36 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:13 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 30m near June down to 12h 24m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Alaghsas 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 Agadez, Arlit and Tessaoua. Each is only a few minutes off Alaghsas's clock.
