How Wichita's prayer times are worked out

From Wichita, the Qibla is 42° from true north. Face northeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 12,062 km (7,495 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Wichita's own coordinates (37.69°N, 97.33°W), not a national average. That is why Wichita's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Wichita timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Wichita lies well west inside its Chicago time zone. So the sun peaks about 98 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:35 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 18m near June down to 10h 52m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Wichita come from the Islamic Society of North America. The ISNA method sets Fajr when the sun is 15° below the horizon, and Isha at 15°. 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 Tulsa, Oklahoma City and Kansas City. Each is only a few minutes off Wichita's clock.
