Pindiga Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Pindiga, Nigeria

Pindigaprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (9.9843°N, 10.9523°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Nigeria. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.

The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Pindiga's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Pindiga prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Pindiga's prayer times are worked out

Pindiga sits 3,334 km (2,072 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 64° from true north — you face northeast to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Nigeria follows the Muslim World League method set by the Muslim World League: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.

Day length is what really moves the timetable in Pindiga. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 00m around June, while the shortest is roughly 12h 49m in December: a swing of 1h 11m across the year. That spread is set by Pindiga's latitude (9.98°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Pindiga does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Africa/Lagos time zone, the sun peaks about 25 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 12:23 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Gombe, Bauchi, Jalingo — close enough that their times differ from Pindiga's by only a few minutes.
