How Yüksekova's prayer times are worked out

From Yüksekova, the Qibla is 195° from true north. Face south to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,846 km (1,147 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Yüksekova's own coordinates (37.57°N, 44.29°E), not a national average. That is why Yüksekova's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Yüksekova timetable through the year. With the Diyanet method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 41m around June. It eases to 11h 08m by December. That is a 5h 33m swing, set by the city's latitude of 37.57°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Yüksekova 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. Yüksekova sits west of its Istanbul meridian. The sun peaks about 11 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:01 PM. We also publish times for nearby Hakkâri, Orūmīyeh and Salmās. Each is only a few minutes off Yüksekova's clock.
