Prayer times by region in Samoa

Our pages in Samoa are organised in 10 regions. Open your region, then your city: every page has its own coordinates, so the times differ by a few minutes from one place to the next, east to west and from north to south.

How prayer times are calculated in Samoa

Times for Samoa 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+13). In the capital Apia, Fajr is around 4:37 AM and Maghrib 6:54 PM around 21 December, while around 21 June Fajr comes at 5:33 AM and Maghrib at 6:08 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 19 min to 12 h 57 min.

Our cities in Samoa stretch from Asau in the west to Samamea in the east, and from Safotu in the north to Samamea in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Samamea about 4 minutes before Asau, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Apia cannot replace that of your own city.

Qibla direction in Samoa

NSEW

From Apia, the Qibla is at 288.7° from true north, towards the west, and the Kaaba is 16,569 km away. The angle changes a little as you move across Samoa, which is why each city page shows its own Qibla angle with a compass diagram.

Ramadan in Samoa
