How Gusau's prayer times are worked out

From Gusau, the Qibla is 69° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,668 km (2,279 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Gusau's own coordinates (12.17°N, 6.66°E), not a national average. That is why Gusau's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Gusau timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Gusau lies well west inside its Lagos time zone. So the sun peaks about 42 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:32 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 09m near June down to 12h 41m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Gusau 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 Kaura Namoda, Funtua and Malumfashi. Each is only a few minutes off Gusau's clock.
