How Makeni's prayer times are worked out

From Makeni, the Qibla is 70° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,712 km (3,549 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Makeni's own coordinates (8.89°N, 12.04°W), not a national average. That is why Makeni's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Makeni sits just 8.89°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 56m. The shortest is about 12h 52m. That is a swing of only 1h 04m 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 Makeni 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 Bo, Koidu and Freetown. Each is only a few minutes off Makeni's clock.
