How Rajshahi's prayer times are worked out

From Rajshahi, the Qibla is 276° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,982 km (3,096 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Rajshahi's own coordinates (24.37°N, 88.60°E), not a national average. That is why Rajshahi's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Rajshahi timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Rajshahi lies well west inside its Dhaka time zone. So the sun peaks about 14 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:12 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 08m near June down to 11h 59m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Rajshahi 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. We also publish times for nearby Puthia, Natore and Nawābganj. Each is only a few minutes off Rajshahi's clock.
