Prayer Times in Sa'dah, Yemen

Sa'dah's times use the Umm al-Qura method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Yemen. They are drawn from Sa'dah's own coordinates (16.9402°N, 43.7639°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Sa'dah's prayer times are worked out

From Sa'dah, the Qibla is 321° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 648 km (402 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Sa'dah's own coordinates (16.94°N, 43.76°E), not a national average. That is why Sa'dah's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Sa'dah timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Sa'dah lies well west inside its Aden time zone. So the sun peaks about 12 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:02 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 33m near June down to 12h 27m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Sa'dah come from Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. The Umm al-Qura method sets Fajr when the sun is 18.5° below the horizon, and Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. 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 Najrān, Abū ‘Arīsh and Şabyā. Each is only a few minutes off Sa'dah's clock.
