How Merzifon's prayer times are worked out

From Merzifon, the Qibla is 168° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,202 km (1,368 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Merzifon's own coordinates (40.87°N, 35.46°E), not a national average. That is why Merzifon's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Merzifon timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Merzifon lies well west inside its Istanbul time zone. So the sun peaks about 47 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:37 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 14m near June down to 10h 53m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Merzifon come from Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Türkiye's state religious authority. The Diyanet 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 Amasya, Çorum and Zile. Each is only a few minutes off Merzifon's clock.
