How Ben Jerrar's prayer times are worked out

From Ben Jerrar, the Qibla is 89° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,995 km (3,104 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ben Jerrar's own coordinates (30.26°N, 9.50°W), not a national average. That is why Ben Jerrar's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ben Jerrar timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ben Jerrar lies well west inside its Casablanca time zone. So the sun peaks about 46 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:36 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 43m near June down to 11h 38m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ben Jerrar 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 Lqoliaa, Ait Melloul and Inezgane. Each is only a few minutes off Ben Jerrar's clock.
