How are prayer times calculated for Sylhet?
Sylhet lies at a latitude of about 24.89°N, in Sylhet Division. Because prayer times depend on the position of the sun at a given location, the timings here are calculated specifically for these coordinates rather than borrowed from another town.
Today the sun rises at 05:51 and Maghrib falls at 17:23, giving 11h 31m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 04:35) and Isha (currently 18:39) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Sylhet, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 277° from here, roughly to the west — a great-circle distance of about 5,303 km.
