How Erzincan's prayer times are worked out

From Erzincan, the Qibla is 179° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,037 km (1,266 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Erzincan's own coordinates (39.74°N, 39.49°E), not a national average. That is why Erzincan's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Erzincan timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Erzincan lies well west inside its Istanbul time zone. So the sun peaks about 31 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:20 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 02m near June down to 10h 59m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Erzincan 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 Akçapınar, Elazığ and Bingöl. Each is only a few minutes off Erzincan's clock.
