How Orihuela's prayer times are worked out

From Orihuela, the Qibla is 104° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,306 km (2,675 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Orihuela's own coordinates (38.08°N, 0.94°W), not a national average. That is why Orihuela's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Orihuela timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Orihuela lies well west inside its Madrid time zone. So the sun peaks about 72 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 2:02 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 45m near June down to 11h 06m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Orihuela 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 Murcia, Molina de Segura and Torrevieja. Each is only a few minutes off Orihuela's clock.
