How Umm Ruwaba's prayer times are worked out

From Umm Ruwaba, the Qibla is 43° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,316 km (818 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Umm Ruwaba's own coordinates (12.91°N, 31.22°E), not a national average. That is why Umm Ruwaba's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Umm Ruwaba timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 14h 13m around June. It eases to 12h 38m by December. That is a 1h 35m swing, set by the city's latitude of 12.91°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Umm Ruwaba 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. Umm Ruwaba sits close to its Khartoum meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 11:53 AM today. We also publish times for nearby El Obeid, Kosti and Rabak. Each is only a few minutes off Umm Ruwaba's clock.
