How Bauchi's prayer times are worked out

From Bauchi, the Qibla is 65° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,428 km (2,130 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bauchi's own coordinates (10.31°N, 9.84°E), not a national average. That is why Bauchi's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Bauchi timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Bauchi lies well west inside its Lagos time zone. So the sun peaks about 29 minutes after 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 14h 01m near June down to 12h 47m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Bauchi 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 Jos, Pindiga and Lere. Each is only a few minutes off Bauchi's clock.
