How Elbistan's prayer times are worked out

From Elbistan, the Qibla is 172° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,883 km (1,170 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Elbistan's own coordinates (38.21°N, 37.20°E), not a national average. That is why Elbistan's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Elbistan timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Elbistan lies well west inside its Istanbul time zone. So the sun peaks about 40 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:30 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 46m near June down to 11h 05m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Elbistan come from Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Türkiye's state religious authority. The Diyanet 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 Kahramanmaraş, Malatya and Adıyaman. Each is only a few minutes off Elbistan's clock.
