How Sheki's prayer times are worked out

From Sheki, the Qibla is 200° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,304 km (1,432 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Sheki's own coordinates (41.19°N, 47.17°E), not a national average. That is why Sheki's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Sheki timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Sheki lies well west inside its Baku time zone. So the sun peaks about 60 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:50 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 18m near June down to 10h 51m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Sheki 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 Mingachevir, Yevlakh and Ganja. Each is only a few minutes off Sheki's clock.
