How Butajīra's prayer times are worked out

From Butajīra, the Qibla is 6° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,488 km (924 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Butajīra's own coordinates (8.12°N, 38.37°E), not a national average. That is why Butajīra's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Butajīra sits just 8.12°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 53m. The shortest is about 12h 54m. That is a swing of only 0h 59m between June and December. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Butajīra 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 Ciro, Ziway and Mek’ī. Each is only a few minutes off Butajīra's clock.
