How Kırıkhan's prayer times are worked out

From Kırıkhan, the Qibla is 168° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,710 km (1,062 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kırıkhan's own coordinates (36.50°N, 36.36°E), not a national average. That is why Kırıkhan's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Kırıkhan timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Kırıkhan lies well west inside its Istanbul time zone. So the sun peaks about 43 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:33 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 31m near June down to 11h 13m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Kırıkhan come from Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Türkiye's state religious authority. The Diyanet 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 İskenderun, Reyhanlı and Antakya. Each is only a few minutes off Kırıkhan's clock.
