How Khān Yūnis's prayer times are worked out

From Khān Yūnis, the Qibla is 152° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,232 km (765 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Khān Yūnis's own coordinates (31.34°N, 34.31°E), not a national average. That is why Khān Yūnis's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Khān Yūnis timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 50m around June. It eases to 11h 33m by December. That is a 4h 17m swing, set by the city's latitude of 31.34°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Khān Yūnis 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. Khān Yūnis sits east of its Gaza meridian. The sun peaks about 9 minutes before noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:41 PM. We also publish times for nearby Rafaḩ, Dayr al Balaḩ and Gaza. Each is only a few minutes off Khān Yūnis's clock.
