Harar's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Ethiopia. They are drawn from Harar's own coordinates (9.3139°N, 42.1181°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Harar's prayer times are worked out

From Harar, the Qibla is 350° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,369 km (850 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Harar's own coordinates (9.31°N, 42.12°E), not a national average. That is why Harar's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Harar sits just 9.31°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 Harar 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 ‘Alemaya, Dire Dawa and Jijiga. Each is only a few minutes off Harar's clock.
