How Koutiala's prayer times are worked out

From Koutiala, the Qibla is 72° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,905 km (3,048 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Koutiala's own coordinates (12.39°N, 5.47°W), not a national average. That is why Koutiala's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Koutiala timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Koutiala lies well west inside its Bamako time zone. So the sun peaks about 30 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:20 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 10m near June down to 12h 40m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Koutiala 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 San, Sikasso and Pèlèngana. Each is only a few minutes off Koutiala's clock.
