How Chiniot's prayer times are worked out

From Chiniot, the Qibla is 259° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,474 km (2,159 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Chiniot's own coordinates (31.72°N, 72.98°E), not a national average. That is why Chiniot's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Chiniot timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Chiniot lies well west inside its Karachi time zone. So the sun peaks about 17 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:15 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 54m near June down to 11h 32m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Chiniot come from the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. The Karachi method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 18°. 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 Rabwah, Faisalabad and Sangla Hill. Each is only a few minutes off Chiniot's clock.
