How Lerik's prayer times are worked out

From Lerik, the Qibla is 205° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,096 km (1,303 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Lerik's own coordinates (38.77°N, 48.41°E), not a national average. That is why Lerik's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Lerik timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Lerik lies well west inside its Baku time zone. So the sun peaks about 55 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:45 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 52m near June down to 11h 03m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Lerik 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 Lankaran, Ardabīl and Meshgīn Shahr. Each is only a few minutes off Lerik's clock.
