Fana's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Mali. They are drawn from Fana's own coordinates (12.7787°N, 6.9564°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Fana's prayer times are worked out

From Fana, the Qibla is 72° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,046 km (3,135 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Fana's own coordinates (12.78°N, 6.96°W), not a national average. That is why Fana's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Fana timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Fana lies well west inside its Bamako time zone. So the sun peaks about 36 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:26 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 12m near June down to 12h 38m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Fana 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 Koulikoro, Ségou and Pèlèngana. Each is only a few minutes off Fana's clock.
