How Sukuta's prayer times are worked out

From Sukuta, the Qibla is 73° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 6,034 km (3,749 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Sukuta's own coordinates (13.41°N, 16.71°W), not a national average. That is why Sukuta's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Sukuta timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Sukuta lies well west inside its Banjul time zone. So the sun peaks about 75 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:05 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 14m near June down to 12h 36m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Sukuta 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 Bununka Kunda, Serekunda and Brikama. Each is only a few minutes off Sukuta's clock.
