How Rufisque est's prayer times are worked out

From Rufisque est, the Qibla is 74° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 6,051 km (3,760 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Rufisque est's own coordinates (14.72°N, 17.27°W), not a national average. That is why Rufisque est's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Rufisque est timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Rufisque est lies well west inside its Dakar time zone. So the sun peaks about 78 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:54 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 20m near June down to 12h 32m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Rufisque est 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 Rufisque, Bargny Ngoude and Bargny. Each is only a few minutes off Rufisque est's clock.
