How Ilesa's prayer times are worked out

From Ilesa, the Qibla is 64° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,062 km (2,524 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ilesa's own coordinates (7.63°N, 4.74°E), not a national average. That is why Ilesa's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Ilesa sits just 7.63°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 51m. The shortest is about 12h 57m. That is a swing of only 0h 54m 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 Ilesa 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 Ijebu-Jesa, Efon-Alaaye and Ile-Ife. Each is only a few minutes off Ilesa's clock.
