Prayer Times in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire

Abidjan prayer times explained

Between the last prayer of one day and the first of the next, Abidjan gets roughly 9 hours and 21 minutes of darkness. The whole timetable below follows the same movement — as the nights lengthen, every time on the page moves with them.

The shape of the day

Fajr is at 4:49 am — early, and in darkness. The window stays open until sunrise, 6:02 am. After the sun peaks, Dhuhr is prayed at 12:00 pm, and Asr at 4:19 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 5:58 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 7:28 pm. That gives Abidjan roughly 11 hours and 56 minutes of daylight today.

Where these times come from

These times follow 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. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.
