Prayer Times in Amaturá, Brazil

About the times on this page

If you have prayed in Amaturá for a few years, the times below will look familiar whatever month you are reading this in. Sitting near the equator means roughly twelve hours of daylight in every month, so Fajr and Maghrib drift by minutes rather than hours between January and July.

The shape of the day

Fajr is at 4:57 am — early, and in darkness. The window stays open until sunrise, 6:10 am. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 12:16 pm, and Asr at 4:39 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 6:23 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 7:53 pm. That gives Amaturá roughly 12 hours and 13 minutes of daylight today.

Qibla from Amaturá

From this city the direction is east-north-east, or 69° if you prefer the number. That puts the Kaaba roughly 12,009 km — 7,462 miles — from here.

How the times are worked out

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

Fasting hours

Suhoor closes at 4:57 am in Amaturá, with iftar at 6:23 pm. Roughly 13 hours and 26 minutes, going by today's figures. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.
