How Gashua's prayer times are worked out

From Gashua, the Qibla is 69° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,197 km (1,986 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Gashua's own coordinates (12.87°N, 11.04°E), not a national average. That is why Gashua's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Gashua timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Gashua lies well west inside its Lagos time zone. So the sun peaks about 24 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:14 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 Gashua 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 Nguru, Hadejia and Potiskum. Each is only a few minutes off Gashua's clock.
