Prayer times in Katsina-Ala — common questions

What time is Fajr in Katsina-Ala today?

Fajr in Katsina-Ala begins at 05:03 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 Katsina-Ala?

From Katsina-Ala, the Qibla is 61.0° 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 Katsina-Ala?

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 Katsina-Ala?

Day length in Katsina-Ala 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.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Katsina-Ala?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Katsina-Ala'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.
