How Karnaphuli's prayer times are worked out

From Karnaphuli, the Qibla is 279° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,374 km (3,339 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Karnaphuli's own coordinates (22.69°N, 92.23°E), not a national average. That is why Karnaphuli's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Karnaphuli timetable through the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 59m around June. It eases to 12h 05m by December. That is a 2h 54m swing, set by the city's latitude of 22.69°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Karnaphuli come from the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. The Karachi method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 18°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Karnaphuli sits close to its Dhaka meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 11:36 AM today. We also publish times for nearby Rangamati, Bibir Hat and Hāthazāri. Each is only a few minutes off Karnaphuli's clock.
