How Baton Rouge's prayer times are worked out

From Baton Rouge, the Qibla is 48° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 12,228 km (7,598 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Baton Rouge's own coordinates (30.45°N, 91.19°W), not a national average. That is why Baton Rouge's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Baton Rouge timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Baton Rouge lies well west inside its Chicago time zone. So the sun peaks about 73 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:11 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 26m near June down to 11h 22m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Baton Rouge come from the Islamic Society of North America. The ISNA method sets Fajr when the sun is 15° below the horizon, and Isha at 15°. 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 New Orleans, Jackson and Shreveport. Each is only a few minutes off Baton Rouge's clock.
