How Chakwama's prayer times are worked out

From Chakwama, the Qibla is 67° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,390 km (2,106 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Chakwama's own coordinates (11.56°N, 9.66°E), not a national average. That is why Chakwama's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Chakwama timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Chakwama lies well west inside its Lagos time zone. So the sun peaks about 30 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:19 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 06m near June down to 12h 43m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Chakwama 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 Azare, Hadejia and Kano. Each is only a few minutes off Chakwama's clock.
