Prayer times in Sofo-Birnin-Gwari — common questions

What time is Fajr in Sofo-Birnin-Gwari today?

Fajr in Sofo-Birnin-Gwari begins at 05:07 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from Sofo-Birnin-Gwari?

From Sofo-Birnin-Gwari, the Qibla is 67.6° from true north — roughly ENE. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.

Which calculation method is used for Sofo-Birnin-Gwari?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Nigeria. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.

How much does daylight change through the year in Sofo-Birnin-Gwari?

Day length in Sofo-Birnin-Gwari ranges from about 11.5 hours at midwinter to 12.8 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 1.3 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Sofo-Birnin-Gwari?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Sofo-Birnin-Gwari's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.
