Warder Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Warder, Ethiopia

Warderprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (6.9744°N, 45.3408°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Ethiopia. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.

The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Warder's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Warder prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Warder's prayer times are worked out

Warder sits 1,712 km (1,064 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 340° from true north — you face north to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Ethiopia follows the Muslim World League method set by the Muslim World League: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.

Day length is what really moves the timetable in Warder. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 13h 48m around June, while the shortest is roughly 12h 58m in December: a swing of 0h 50m across the year. That spread is set by Warder's latitude (6.97°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

Warder sits close to the meridian of its Africa/Addis Ababa time zone, so the sun peaks within 7 minutes of clock noon and Dhuhr lands near midday — today at 12:06 PM. Dhuhr always tracks the sun's peak, not the clock. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Cabudwaaq, Balanbale, Gode — close enough that their times differ from Warder's by only a few minutes.
