Shendi's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Sudan. They are drawn from Shendi's own coordinates (16.6915°N, 33.4341°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Shendi's prayer times are worked out

From Shendi, the Qibla is 51° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 853 km (530 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Shendi's own coordinates (16.69°N, 33.43°E), not a national average. That is why Shendi's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Shendi timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 29m around June. It eases to 12h 25m by December. That is a 2h 04m swing, set by the city's latitude of 16.69°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Shendi 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. Shendi sits east of its Khartoum meridian. The sun peaks about 5 minutes before noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:45 AM. We also publish times for nearby Ad-Damir, Atbara and Khartoum North. Each is only a few minutes off Shendi's clock.
