How Finote Selam's prayer times are worked out

From Finote Selam, the Qibla is 13° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,223 km (760 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Finote Selam's own coordinates (10.70°N, 37.27°E), not a national average. That is why Finote Selam's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Finote Selam timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Finote Selam lies well west inside its Addis Ababa time zone. So the sun peaks about 39 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:16 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 03m near June down to 12h 46m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Finote Selam 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 Debre Mark’os, Mot’a and Dangila. Each is only a few minutes off Finote Selam's clock.
