Prayer Times in Diffa, Niger
Prayer times in Diffa are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (13.32°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Niger. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Diffa's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Niger. They are drawn from Diffa's own coordinates (13.3154°N, 12.6113°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Diffa's prayer times are worked out
From Diffa, the Qibla is 69° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,020 km (1,877 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Diffa's own coordinates (13.32°N, 12.61°E), not a national average. That is why Diffa's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Diffa timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Diffa lies well west inside its Niamey time zone. So the sun peaks about 18 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:55 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 14m near June down to 12h 37m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Diffa 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 Maiduguri, Gashua and Gamboru. Each is only a few minutes off Diffa's clock.

Who sets prayer times in Niger
Niger is around 99% Muslim, one of the most uniformly Muslim countries in the world. It is Sunni of the Maliki school, with the Tijaniyya and Qadiriyya Sufi orders woven through everyday religious life. Daily timetables come from mosques rather than a single state office. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to each city's own coordinates. Niger runs on a year-round UTC+1 clock with no daylight saving. Its low Sahel latitude keeps the seasonal swing in day length gentle, so Ramadan's fasting hours shift only modestly whatever time of year it falls.
The Grand Mosque of Niamey
Niamey's skyline is anchored by the Grand Mosque on Islam Avenue. It was completed around 1977 entirely with Libyan funding under Muammar Gaddafi, hence its popular name, the Gaddafi Mosque. Its green-tiled dome and tall minaret, climbed by 171 interior steps, make it the country's most recognisable Islamic landmark. It is also the focus of Friday and Eid gatherings. As Niger is Maliki, its mosques announce the first-shadow (standard) Asr rather than the later Hanafi time, matching the Asr shown on this page.
Mosques in Diffa
A mosque serving Diffa is Mosquée ahlous-sounnah de Vendredi. The times on this page are worked out from Diffa's own coordinates, and they apply across these mosques. Check the exact iqama time with your local mosque. That is the congregation, called a few minutes after each prayer starts.
