Today's Salah Times in Ilesha

Dawn breaks over Ilesha at 05:12. Meet it in sujood and the rest of the day arranges itself.

On Time vs Late

Praying Fajr at 05:12 in Ilesha carries a different weight than praying it before sunrise โ€” both valid, only one optimal.

Silhouette Before Sunrise

Half-way through the dawn window โ€” about 39 minutes after 05:12 โ€” the eastern skyline of Ilesha starts to silhouette against indigo.

Twilight Geometry

Light progresses from astronomical dawn to sunrise in about 77 minutes here โ€” at the equator this would be ~75 minutes, at the poles, hours.

Distance to Makkah

Ilesha lies about 4062 km from Makkah; the Fajr you pray at 05:12 aligns with one prayed there a few minutes apart.

A Compressed Dawn

At only 77 minutes, the dawn window in Ilesha is on the shorter side worldwide; arrive at Fajr already in wudu, not in motion.

A Horizon-Based Clock

In essence the prayer calendar in Ilesha is a horizon-based clock; 05:12 simply reads where the sun is, not what time it is.

Qibla Direction

From Ilesha, the Kaaba sits roughly to the north-east at a true bearing of about 64ยฐ โ€” face that direction at 05:12.

Compared to Osogbo

Fajr in Osogbo, just 28 km from Ilesha, differs by 1 minute(s) โ€” small geographic offsets visibly bend the dawn.
