Salah times Sultangazi: calculation method and Asr

Method: Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı method (Turkey). Asr: Standard.

Times follow Diyanet's official method: İmsak (Fajr) at 18°, Yatsı (Isha) at 17°, plus temkin, the fixed precaution minutes Diyanet adds (sunrise −7, Dhuhr +5, Asr +4, Maghrib +7). In Turkey İmsak is when the fast begins and equals Fajr here. For the places we checked, our minutes match Diyanet's published tables or differ by one minute at most, because Diyanet may use slightly different coordinates for a town. Switch the method or the Asr school below if your mosque follows another timetable.

—Europe/Istanbul

Sultangazi does not change its clocks; times stay on Europe/Istanbul all year. How times are calculated

Sultangazi, the Sun and the clock

Sultangazi is in Istanbul and has about 440,000 people. The nearest larger city is Istanbul, 12 km to the south-southeast. Sultangazi lies 16.1° west of the 45° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 65 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 13:05, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Sultangazi: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 72° above the horizon in June and only 25° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Sultangazi range from 9h 13m in December to 15h 8m in June, a difference of 5h 55m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.

Maghrib time Sultangazi compared with nearby cities

Prayer times shift with longitude: about 4 minutes for every degree east or west. Here is how today's Fajr and Maghrib in nearby places compare with Sultangazi, calculated with the same method.
