Prayer Times in Epe, Nigeria
Prayer times in Epe are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (6.58°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Nigeria. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Epe's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Nigeria. They are drawn from Epe's own coordinates (6.5841°N, 3.9834°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Epe's prayer times are worked out
From Epe, the Qibla is 63° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,189 km (2,603 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Epe's own coordinates (6.58°N, 3.98°E), not a national average. That is why Epe's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Epe sits just 6.58°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 47m. The shortest is about 12h 59m. That is a swing of only 0h 48m between June and December. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Epe 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 Lekki, Ijebu Ode and Ijebu-Igbo. Each is only a few minutes off Epe's clock.

Who sets prayer times in Nigeria
Nigeria has no national prayer-timetable issuer; imams, state and emirate councils publish local times. The apex Muslim body is the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, headed by the Sultan of Sokoto as President-General. Nigerian Sunnis are overwhelmingly Maliki. Maliki practice, like Shafi'i, begins Asr at the first shadow, so the later Hanafi Asr is not local convention. Sufi orders, notably the Tijaniyya and Qadiriyya, remain prominent in religious life.
Moon sighting and the great mosques
Ramadan in Nigeria begins on the Sultan of Sokoto's word rather than a calculated calendar. He directs Muslims nationwide to look for the crescent on a set evening. Sightings are reported to the Sultanate and verified, and only then is the national announcement made. A calculated timetable can therefore tell you the day's prayer times, but not the day Ramadan starts. The Abuja National Mosque, built in 1984 and opened to the public in 1991, is the country's most recognisable landmark. Lagos Central Mosque on Lagos Island traces back to 1864, with the present building opened in 1988. Kaduna's Sultan Bello Mosque dates from 1962.
