Prayer times in Buta — common questions

What time is Fajr in Buta today?

Fajr in Buta begins at 05:08 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 Buta?

From Buta, the Qibla is 37.1° from true north — roughly NE. 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 Buta?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Democratic Republic of the Congo. 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 far is Buta from Makkah?

Buta lies approximately 2638 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.

How much does daylight change through the year in Buta?

Day length in Buta ranges from about 12 hours at midwinter to 12.3 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 0.3 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
