How Zabīd's prayer times are worked out

From Zabīd, the Qibla is 336° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 884 km (549 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Zabīd's own coordinates (14.20°N, 43.32°E), not a national average. That is why Zabīd's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Zabīd timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Zabīd lies well west inside its Aden time zone. So the sun peaks about 14 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 11:51 AM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 21m near June down to 12h 36m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Zabīd come from Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. The Umm al-Qura method sets Fajr when the sun is 18.5° below the horizon, and Isha 90 minutes after Maghrib. 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 Al Ḩudaydah, Ibb and Taiz. Each is only a few minutes off Zabīd's clock.
