Prayer Times in Gimbi, Ethiopia

Prayer times in Gimbi are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (9.17°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Ethiopia. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Gimbi's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Ethiopia. They are drawn from Gimbi's own coordinates (9.1703°N, 35.8349°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Gimbi's prayer times are worked out

From Gimbi, the Qibla is 17° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,428 km (887 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Gimbi's own coordinates (9.17°N, 35.83°E), not a national average. That is why Gimbi's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Gimbi sits just 9.17°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 57m. The shortest is about 12h 50m. That is a swing of only 1h 07m 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 Gimbi 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 Nek’emtē, Metu and Dembī Dolo. Each is only a few minutes off Gimbi's clock.

Islam in Ethiopia: older than almost anywhere

Ethiopia's link to Islam is older than the faith's arrival in most of the world. Tradition holds that around 615 CE the Prophet's companions found asylum with the Aksumite king in the first hijra. That king was the Najashi, known in Islamic tradition as Ashama ibn Abjar. The Al Nejashi Mosque at Negash in Tigray marks that refuge. It is widely regarded as one of Africa's earliest mosques, and it sits on UNESCO's tentative World Heritage list. Today about a third of Ethiopians are Muslim — 33.9% at the 2007 census. The Ethiopian Islamic Affairs Supreme Council is the country's highest Islamic authority. It issues Ramadan calendars and religious guidance, while daily timetables come from local mosques. This page uses the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) on this city's own coordinates.

From Merkato's Grand Anwar to the highlands

Addis Ababa's Grand Anwar Mosque was built in the early 1920s in the heart of Merkato. It is the capital's largest and oldest mosque, and the centre of its religious calendar. Much of Muslim Ethiopia lives at altitude; Addis Ababa itself sits near 2,355 metres, the highest capital in Africa. Elevation does not change the calculation, though — the times follow the sun at this city's own latitude and longitude. Ethiopia keeps East Africa Time (UTC+3) all year, with no daylight saving. Its tropical latitude keeps day length steady, so the five prayers hold a nearly constant rhythm across the seasons.
