How are prayer times calculated for Maputo?
Maputo lies at a latitude of about 25.97°S, in Maputo City. 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 05:09 and Maghrib falls at 17:59, giving 12h 49m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 03:49) and Isha (currently 19:14) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Maputo, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 9° from here, roughly to the north — a great-circle distance of about 5,327 km.
