How ‘Amrān's prayer times are worked out

From ‘Amrān, the Qibla is 327° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 774 km (481 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from ‘Amrān's own coordinates (15.66°N, 43.94°E), not a national average. That is why ‘Amrān's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the ‘Amrān timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. ‘Amrān lies well west inside its Aden time zone. So the sun peaks about 12 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:02 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 27m near June down to 12h 31m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for ‘Amrān come from Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. The Umm al-Qura method sets Fajr when the sun is 18.5° below the horizon, and Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. 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 Sanaa, Sayyān and Dhamār. Each is only a few minutes off ‘Amrān's clock.
