How Üsküdar's prayer times are worked out

From Üsküdar, the Qibla is 152° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,405 km (1,494 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Üsküdar's own coordinates (41.02°N, 29.01°E), not a national average. That is why Üsküdar's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Üsküdar timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Üsküdar lies well west inside its Istanbul time zone. So the sun peaks about 72 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:02 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 16m near June down to 10h 53m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Üsküdar 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 İstanbul, Eminönü and Şişli. Each is only a few minutes off Üsküdar's clock.
