How Sapele's prayer times are worked out

From Sapele, the Qibla is 61° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,059 km (2,522 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Sapele's own coordinates (5.89°N, 5.68°E), not a national average. That is why Sapele's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Sapele sits just 5.89°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 44m. The shortest is about 13h 02m. That is a swing of only 0h 42m between June and December. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Sapele 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 Warri, Benin City and Ughelli. Each is only a few minutes off Sapele's clock.
