Ārabī Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Ārabī, Ethiopia

Prayer times in Ārabī are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (9.96°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Ethiopia. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Ārabī's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Ethiopia. They are drawn from Ārabī's own coordinates (9.9628°N, 42.4928°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Ārabī's prayer times are worked out

From Ārabī, the Qibla is 348° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,306 km (811 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ārabī's own coordinates (9.96°N, 42.49°E), not a national average. That is why Ārabī's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Ārabī sits just 9.96°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast is about 14h 00m. The shortest is about 12h 48m. That is a swing of only 1h 12m 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 Ārabī 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 Borama, Jijiga and Dire Dawa. Each is only a few minutes off Ārabī's clock.
