How Sancaktepe's prayer times are worked out

From Sancaktepe, the Qibla is 152° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,394 km (1,488 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Sancaktepe's own coordinates (41.00°N, 29.23°E), not a national average. That is why Sancaktepe's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Sancaktepe timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Sancaktepe lies well west inside its Istanbul time zone. So the sun peaks about 72 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:01 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 16m near June down to 10h 53m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Sancaktepe come from Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Türkiye's state religious authority. The Diyanet 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 Sultanbeyli, Ümraniye and Maltepe. Each is only a few minutes off Sancaktepe's clock.
