How Tahoua's prayer times are worked out

From Tahoua, the Qibla is 74° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,715 km (2,308 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Tahoua's own coordinates (14.89°N, 5.27°E), not a national average. That is why Tahoua's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Tahoua timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Tahoua lies well west inside its Niamey time zone. So the sun peaks about 47 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:24 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 21m near June down to 12h 31m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Tahoua 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 Birni N Konni, Dogondoutchi and Sokoto. Each is only a few minutes off Tahoua's clock.
