How Shāhjānpur's prayer times are worked out

From Shāhjānpur, the Qibla is 269° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,096 km (2,545 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Shāhjānpur's own coordinates (27.88°N, 79.91°E), not a national average. That is why Shāhjānpur's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Shāhjānpur timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Shāhjānpur lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 19 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:16 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 15h 27m near June down to 11h 47m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Shāhjānpur 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 Tilhar, Shāhābād and Bīsalpur. Each is only a few minutes off Shāhjānpur's clock.
