Prayer times in Kano

Which way to face

From Kano, the Qibla is 68 degrees from true north, measured as a great circle to the Kaaba. A phone compass reads magnetic north, which differs from true north by a few degrees in most places, so treat a compass reading as close rather than exact.

How these times are calculated

These use the Muslim World League convention, which sets Fajr at 18 degrees of solar depression and Isha at 17. It is the most widely applied standard in Nigeria and across Europe generally, and it is what most mosques there follow.

Across the year

In Kano Fajr ranges from 04:42 at the height of summer to 05:38 in deep winter, a spread of about 56 minutes. The shift is gradual, a minute or so every few days, which is why a monthly table is more useful than a single day's figures.
