How Bama's prayer times are worked out

From Bama, the Qibla is 65° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,991 km (1,858 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bama's own coordinates (11.52°N, 13.69°E), not a national average. That is why Bama's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Bama timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Bama lies well west inside its Lagos time zone. So the sun peaks about 14 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:04 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 06m near June down to 12h 43m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Bama 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 Maiduguri, Gamboru and Mubi. Each is only a few minutes off Bama's clock.
