Compared with Tehran, Dhuhr in Shahrud is called roughly 14 minutes earlier than in Tehran, and on the 21 June Maghrib is called 12 minutes earlier than in the capital. Shahrud is 330 km away from the capital, towards the east. That is why we calculate every city with its own coordinates rather than using one timetable for the whole country.
Finding the Qibla from Shahrud
From Shahrud you face towards the south-west, at an angle of 225.4° from true north; the Kaaba is 2,220 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Shahrud and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
