How Kafanchan's prayer times are worked out

From Kafanchan, the Qibla is 65° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,616 km (2,247 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kafanchan's own coordinates (9.58°N, 8.29°E), not a national average. That is why Kafanchan's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Kafanchan sits just 9.58°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 58m. The shortest is about 12h 50m. That is a swing of only 1h 08m 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 Kafanchan 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 Kagoro, Jos and Keffi. Each is only a few minutes off Kafanchan's clock.
