Sodo Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Sodo, Ethiopia

Prayer times in Sodo are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (6.86°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Ethiopia. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Sodo's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Ethiopia. They are drawn from Sodo's own coordinates (6.8600°N, 37.7616°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Sodo's prayer times are worked out

From Sodo, the Qibla is 8° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,634 km (1,016 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Sodo's own coordinates (6.86°N, 37.76°E), not a national average. That is why Sodo's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Sodo sits just 6.86°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 47m. The shortest is about 12h 59m. That is a swing of only 0h 48m 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 Sodo 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 Gununo, Bodītī and Āreka. Each is only a few minutes off Sodo's clock.
