How Surat's prayer times are worked out

From Surat, the Qibla is 277° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,413 km (2,121 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Surat's own coordinates (21.20°N, 72.83°E), not a national average. That is why Surat's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Surat timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Surat lies well west inside its Kolkata time zone. So the sun peaks about 47 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:45 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 50m near June down to 12h 10m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Surat 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 Navsari, Bārdoli and Vijalpor. Each is only a few minutes off Surat's clock.
