How Biyalā's prayer times are worked out

From Biyalā, the Qibla is 140° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,381 km (858 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Biyalā's own coordinates (31.17°N, 31.22°E), not a national average. That is why Biyalā's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Biyalā timetable through the year. With the Egyptian method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 59m around June. It eases to 11h 42m by December. That is a 4h 17m swing, set by the city's latitude of 31.17°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Biyalā come from the Egyptian General Authority of Survey. The Egyptian method sets Fajr when the sun is 19.5° below the horizon, and Isha at 17.5°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Biyalā sits close to its Cairo meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:53 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Nabarūh, Bilqās and Al Ḩāmūl. Each is only a few minutes off Biyalā's clock.
