How Bakıxanov's prayer times are worked out

From Bakıxanov, the Qibla is 207° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,319 km (1,441 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bakıxanov's own coordinates (40.42°N, 49.97°E), not a national average. That is why Bakıxanov's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Bakıxanov timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Bakıxanov lies well west inside its Baku time zone. So the sun peaks about 49 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:39 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 09m near June down to 10h 56m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Bakıxanov 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 Qaraçuxur, Baku and Sumqayıt. Each is only a few minutes off Bakıxanov's clock.
