How Cox’s Bāzār's prayer times are worked out

From Cox’s Bāzār, the Qibla is 280° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,375 km (3,340 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Cox’s Bāzār's own coordinates (21.44°N, 92.01°E), not a national average. That is why Cox’s Bāzār's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Cox’s Bāzār timetable through the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 52m around June. It eases to 12h 09m by December. That is a 2h 43m swing, set by the city's latitude of 21.44°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Cox’s Bāzār 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. Cox’s Bāzār sits close to its Dhaka meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 11:37 AM today. We also publish times for nearby Sātkania, Bāndarban and Patiya. Each is only a few minutes off Cox’s Bāzār's clock.
