How Kaura Namoda's prayer times are worked out

From Kaura Namoda, the Qibla is 70° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,660 km (2,274 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kaura Namoda's own coordinates (12.59°N, 6.59°E), not a national average. That is why Kaura Namoda's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Kaura Namoda timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Kaura Namoda lies well west inside its Lagos time zone. So the sun peaks about 42 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:32 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 12m near June down to 12h 39m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Kaura Namoda 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 Gusau, Maradi and Katsina. Each is only a few minutes off Kaura Namoda's clock.
