Prayer Times in Banane, Kenya

The prayer day in Banane

From Banane, the qibla points north — a bearing of about 3° on a compass. That is roughly 2,330 kilometres in a straight line. The times themselves are worked out from the city's exact position.

Method and madhab

The calculation used here is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

Elsewhere in Kenya

There are 5 more Kenya cities here, and each has its own times rather than sharing Banane's. It is worth switching to the right one when you travel — a few hundred kilometres east or west moves Fajr and Maghrib by a noticeable margin.

What changes between summer and winter

Banane is close enough to the equator that the seasons barely register in the prayer times. Longest day and shortest day differ by very little, and Ramadan feels much the same whichever month it lands in.

A walk through today's times

It starts in the dark, with Fajr at 4:53 am. The window stays open until sunrise, 6:06 am. Dhuhr 12:09 pm, Asr 4:30 pm — the two that carry the middle of the day. Sunset brings Maghrib at 6:12 pm; Isha is the last, at 7:42 pm. That is some 12 hours and 6 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

Suhoor and iftar in Banane

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 4:53 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 6:12 pm. Around 13 hours and 19 minutes without food or water today. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.
