Prayer Times in Ozubulu, Nigeria

Prayer times in Ozubulu are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (5.96°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Nigeria. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Ozubulu's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Nigeria. They are drawn from Ozubulu's own coordinates (5.9575°N, 6.8530°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Ozubulu's prayer times are worked out

From Ozubulu, the Qibla is 61° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,941 km (2,449 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ozubulu's own coordinates (5.96°N, 6.85°E), not a national average. That is why Ozubulu's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Ozubulu sits just 5.96°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 44m. The shortest is about 13h 02m. That is a swing of only 0h 42m 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 Ozubulu 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 Nnewi, Ihiala and Atani. Each is only a few minutes off Ozubulu's clock.

Who sets prayer times in Nigeria

Nigeria has no national prayer-timetable issuer; imams, state and emirate councils publish local times. The apex Muslim body is the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, headed by the Sultan of Sokoto as President-General. Nigerian Sunnis are overwhelmingly Maliki. Maliki practice, like Shafi'i, begins Asr at the first shadow, so the later Hanafi Asr is not local convention. Sufi orders, notably the Tijaniyya and Qadiriyya, remain prominent in religious life.

Moon sighting and the great mosques

Ramadan in Nigeria begins on the Sultan of Sokoto's word rather than a calculated calendar. He directs Muslims nationwide to look for the crescent on a set evening. Sightings are reported to the Sultanate and verified, and only then is the national announcement made. A calculated timetable can therefore tell you the day's prayer times, but not the day Ramadan starts. The Abuja National Mosque, built in 1984 and opened to the public in 1991, is the country's most recognisable landmark. Lagos Central Mosque on Lagos Island traces back to 1864, with the present building opened in 1988. Kaduna's Sultan Bello Mosque dates from 1962.
