How Tokat's prayer times are worked out

From Tokat, the Qibla is 171° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,123 km (1,319 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Tokat's own coordinates (40.31°N, 36.55°E), not a national average. That is why Tokat's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Tokat timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Tokat lies well west inside its Istanbul time zone. So the sun peaks about 42 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:32 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 08m near June down to 10h 56m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Tokat come from Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, Türkiye's state religious authority. The Diyanet 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 Erbaa, Turhal and Zile. Each is only a few minutes off Tokat's clock.
