How Kobo's prayer times are worked out

From Kobo, the Qibla is 360° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,267 km (787 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kobo's own coordinates (10.03°N, 39.85°E), not a national average. That is why Kobo's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Kobo timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Kobo lies well west inside its Addis Ababa time zone. So the sun peaks about 29 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:06 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 01m near June down to 12h 48m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Kobo 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 Debre Birhan, Kombolcha and Fichē. Each is only a few minutes off Kobo's clock.
