Today in Kosti: Fajr 4:19 AM, sunrise 5:38 AM, Dhuhr 11:52 AM, Asr 3:00 PM, Maghrib 6:06 PM and Isha 7:16 PM. All times are for Kosti's own coordinates in the Africa/Khartoum timezone, calculated by the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method.
Fajr begins at 4:19 AM in Kosti today and ends at sunrise, 5:38 AM. During Ramadan, sehri ends at 4:16 AM — a few minutes before Fajr, as printed calendars have it.
Dhuhr begins at 11:52 AM in Kosti today, once the sun has passed its highest point, and lasts until Asr at 3:00 PM.
Asr begins at 3:00 PM in Kosti today and lasts until Maghrib at 6:06 PM. This page uses the Standard (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) position; the other reckoning gives a different time — see the question below.
Maghrib begins at 6:06 PM in Kosti today, at sunset, and lasts until Isha at 7:16 PM. In Ramadan this is also when the fast is broken.
Isha begins at 7:16 PM in Kosti today. Islamic midnight falls at 11:52 PM, and the preferred time for Isha ends there.
The last third of the night in Kosti begins at 12:54 AM tonight and runs until Fajr at 4:19 AM, which is the most virtuous time for Tahajjud. Islamic midnight is 11:52 PM.
Sehri ends at 4:16 AM in Kosti and iftar is at 6:06 PM. Sehri ends when Fajr begins; the time shown subtracts a few minutes as a precaution, which is the common practice in printed Ramadan calendars.
Voluntary prayer is withheld during three short windows in Kosti today: While the sun rises (5:38 AM – 5:53 AM); When the sun is at its highest (11:42 AM – 11:52 AM); While the sun sets (5:51 PM – 6:06 PM). Obligatory prayers being made up are a separate question — ask a scholar.
In Kosti today, Asr begins at 3:00 PM by the standard position (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) and at 4:14 PM by the Hanafi position. The standard position starts Asr when an object's shadow equals its own length; the Hanafi position waits until twice its length. Both are transmitted positions, and the gap between them changes with the season and the latitude.
These times use the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method with the Standard (Shafi‘i, Maliki, Hanbali) position for Asr. The method sets the sun-depression angles for Fajr and Isha; different methods can differ by several minutes, which is why the one in use is named on the page rather than left implicit.
They are computed astronomically from Kosti's coordinates and the Africa/Khartoum timezone, and are typically within a minute or two of a local mosque timetable. Where they differ, your mosque is the one to follow — it may apply a local precaution this calculation does not.
The Qibla from Kosti is 38.6° measured clockwise from true north, which is towards the north-east. Compass apps show magnetic north, which differs from true north by a few degrees in most places.
