How An Nuhūd's prayer times are worked out

From An Nuhūd, the Qibla is 50° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,550 km (963 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from An Nuhūd's own coordinates (12.70°N, 28.43°E), not a national average. That is why An Nuhūd's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the An Nuhūd timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. An Nuhūd lies well west inside its Khartoum time zone. So the sun peaks about 15 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:05 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 11m near June down to 12h 39m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for An Nuhūd 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 Dilling, El Obeid and Kadugli. Each is only a few minutes off An Nuhūd's clock.
