How Zinder's prayer times are worked out

From Zinder, the Qibla is 71° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,370 km (2,094 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Zinder's own coordinates (13.81°N, 8.99°E), not a national average. That is why Zinder's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Zinder timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Zinder lies well west inside its Niamey time zone. So the sun peaks about 33 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:30 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 16m near June down to 12h 36m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Zinder 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. We also publish times for nearby Tessaoua, Katsina and Hadejia. Each is only a few minutes off Zinder's clock.
