How Battir's prayer times are worked out

From Battir, the Qibla is 157° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,235 km (767 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Battir's own coordinates (31.70°N, 35.12°E), not a national average. That is why Battir's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Battir timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Battir lies well east inside its Jerusalem time zone. So the sun peaks about 12 minutes before clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:25 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 53m near June down to 11h 32m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Battir 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 East Jerusalem, Hebron and Ramallah. Each is only a few minutes off Battir's clock.
