How Macenta's prayer times are worked out

From Macenta, the Qibla is 69° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,461 km (3,393 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Macenta's own coordinates (8.54°N, 9.47°W), not a national average. That is why Macenta's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Macenta sits just 8.54°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 54m. The shortest is about 12h 53m. That is a swing of only 1h 01m between June and December. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Macenta 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 Gueckedou, Kissidougou and Nzérékoré. Each is only a few minutes off Macenta's clock.
