Prayer times in Porto-Novo — common questions

What time is Fajr in Porto-Novo today?

Fajr in Porto-Novo begins at 05:31 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 Porto-Novo?

From Porto-Novo, the Qibla is 63.6° 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 Porto-Novo?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Benin. 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 Porto-Novo?

Day length in Porto-Novo ranges from about 11.7 hours at midwinter to 12.5 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 0.8 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

How far is Porto-Novo from Makkah?

Porto-Novo lies approximately 4330 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
