Prayer Times in Banja Luka
Prayer times in Banja Luka are calculated using the Muslim World League method, a widely used standard for determining the Fajr and Isha twilight angles. The city keeps Central European Time (the Europe/Sarajevo zone) and observes daylight saving time, so the clock shifts forward in spring and back in autumn; the schedule below reflects the current local time automatically. Because Banja Luka lies at a relatively northern latitude of about 44.8 degrees, the length of the day changes noticeably with the seasons: summer brings long days with an early Fajr and a late Maghrib, while winter days are short, with later morning prayers and an earlier sunset. When facing the qibla for prayer, worshippers in Banja Luka turn toward the southeast, at a bearing of roughly 134 degrees.
