How prayer times are calculated in Madagascar
Pages for Madagascar use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+3). In the capital Antananarivo, Fajr is around 3:46 AM and Maghrib 6:26 PM around 21 December, while around 21 June Fajr comes at 5:04 AM and Maghrib at 5:21 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h to 13 h 16 min.
Our cities in Madagascar stretch from Morombe in the west to Antalaha in the east, and from Antsiranana in the north to Tsiombe in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Antalaha about 28 minutes before Morombe, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Antananarivo cannot replace that of your own city.
