El Obeid Prayer Times

Prayer Times in El Obeid, Sudan

El Obeid's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Sudan. They are drawn from El Obeid's own coordinates (13.1842°N, 30.2167°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How El Obeid's prayer times are worked out

From El Obeid, the Qibla is 47° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,370 km (851 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from El Obeid's own coordinates (13.18°N, 30.22°E), not a national average. That is why El Obeid's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the El Obeid timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 13m around June. It eases to 12h 38m by December. That is a 1h 35m swing, set by the city's latitude of 13.18°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for El Obeid 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. El Obeid sits west of its Khartoum meridian. The sun peaks about 8 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:57 AM. We also publish times for nearby Umm Ruwaba, Dilling and An Nuhūd. Each is only a few minutes off El Obeid's clock.
