How Bolu's prayer times are worked out

From Bolu, the Qibla is 158° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,283 km (1,419 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bolu's own coordinates (40.74°N, 31.61°E), not a national average. That is why Bolu's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Bolu timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Bolu lies well west inside its Istanbul time zone. So the sun peaks about 62 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:52 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 12m near June down to 10h 54m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Bolu come from Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Türkiye's state religious authority. The Diyanet 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 Düzce, Zonguldak and Karabük. Each is only a few minutes off Bolu's clock.
