How Modica's prayer times are worked out

From Modica, the Qibla is 118° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,963 km (1,841 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Modica's own coordinates (36.86°N, 14.76°E), not a national average. That is why Modica's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Modica timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 34m around June. It eases to 11h 11m by December. That is a 5h 23m swing, set by the city's latitude of 36.86°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Modica 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. Modica sits west of its Rome meridian. The sun peaks about 9 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:59 PM. We also publish times for nearby Ragusa, Vittoria and Gela. Each is only a few minutes off Modica's clock.
