How El Fasher's prayer times are worked out

From El Fasher, the Qibla is 59° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,761 km (1,094 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from El Fasher's own coordinates (13.63°N, 25.35°E), not a national average. That is why El Fasher's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the El Fasher timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. El Fasher lies well west inside its Khartoum time zone. So the sun peaks about 27 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:04 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 15m near June down to 12h 35m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for El Fasher 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 Mellit, Kas and Nyala. Each is only a few minutes off El Fasher's clock.
