How Kontagora's prayer times are worked out

From Kontagora, the Qibla is 67° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,862 km (2,400 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kontagora's own coordinates (10.40°N, 5.47°E), not a national average. That is why Kontagora's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Kontagora timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Kontagora lies well west inside its Lagos time zone. So the sun peaks about 47 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:36 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 02m near June down to 12h 47m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Kontagora 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 Minna, Bida and Lafiagi. Each is only a few minutes off Kontagora's clock.
