How Muzaffarpur's prayer times are worked out

From Muzaffarpur, the Qibla is 274° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,643 km (2,885 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Muzaffarpur's own coordinates (26.12°N, 85.39°E), not a national average. That is why Muzaffarpur's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Muzaffarpur timetable through the year. With the Karachi method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 15h 18m around June. It eases to 11h 53m by December. That is a 3h 25m swing, set by the city's latitude of 26.12°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Muzaffarpur come from the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. The Karachi method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 18°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Muzaffarpur sits close to its Kolkata meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 11:54 AM today. We also publish times for nearby Samāstipur, Darbhanga and Hājīpur. Each is only a few minutes off Muzaffarpur's clock.
