Somali lies 446 km east of Addis Ababa, so Dhuhr in Somali is called about 16 minutes earlier than in Addis Ababa. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Somali.
Qibla direction in Somali
Qibla from Somali: 347.0° (north). This is the angle between true north and the direction to the Kaaba, 1,380 km away. A well calibrated compass app is enough, and the mihrab of any mosque in Somali remains the simplest guide.
Fasting hours in Somali during Ramadan
Ramadan in Somali: according to astronomical calculation, Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to start on 8 February 2027. On the first day, suhoor ends (imsak) at 5:08 AM and the fast is broken at Maghrib, 6:16 PM, about 12 h 58 min of fasting. On the last day the fast lasts 13 h 10 min, longer by 12 minutes. Imsak is shown ten minutes before Fajr as a precaution; what counts for the fast is true dawn (Fajr).
