Kenema's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Sierra Leone. They are drawn from Kenema's own coordinates (7.8769°N, 11.1903°W). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Kenema's prayer times are worked out

From Kenema, the Qibla is 69° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,664 km (3,519 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kenema's own coordinates (7.88°N, 11.19°W), not a national average. That is why Kenema's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Kenema sits just 7.88°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 52m. The shortest is about 12h 55m. That is a swing of only 0h 57m 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 Kenema 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 Bo, Koidu and Gueckedou. Each is only a few minutes off Kenema's clock.
