Pala's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Chad. They are drawn from Pala's own coordinates (9.3646°N, 14.9072°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Pala's prayer times are worked out

From Pala, the Qibla is 60° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,982 km (1,853 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Pala's own coordinates (9.36°N, 14.91°E), not a national average. That is why Pala's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Pala sits just 9.36°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 57m. The shortest is about 12h 50m. That is a swing of only 1h 07m 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 Pala 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. Pala sits west of its Ndjamena meridian. The sun peaks about 9 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:59 AM. We also publish times for nearby Kelo, Bongor and Moundou. Each is only a few minutes off Pala's clock.
