How Karakol's prayer times are worked out

From Karakol, the Qibla is 249° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,273 km (2,655 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Karakol's own coordinates (42.49°N, 78.39°E), not a national average. That is why Karakol's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Karakol timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Karakol lies well west inside its Bishkek time zone. So the sun peaks about 55 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:44 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 33m near June down to 10h 45m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Karakol 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 Almaty, Tokmok and Taldykorgan. Each is only a few minutes off Karakol's clock.
