About Gjilan
Gjilan serves as the administrative seat of one of Kosovo's seven districts, set in the country's southeast at an elevation of roughly 484 metres. For the Muslim community living here, the five daily prayers follow the sun's movement across this inland location, and the times shift noticeably through the year because the city sits at a mid-northern latitude. This page provides the daily prayer schedule for Gjilan along with the calculation details used to determine each time.
Prayer times in Gjilan
Prayer times for Gjilan are calculated using the Muslim World League method, a widely used standard across the region. The city keeps Central European Time (the Europe/Belgrade zone) and observes daylight saving time, so clocks move forward in spring and back in autumn; the listed prayer times already reflect the active clock setting. Because Gjilan lies at about 42 degrees north, daylight length varies considerably with the seasons: summer brings long days with an early Fajr and a late Isha, while winter days are short, with sunrise and Maghrib drawing closer together. Fajr and Isha therefore shift the most between June and December, while the midday Dhuhr stays comparatively stable. For prayer, the qibla from Gjilan points toward Mecca on a bearing of about 138 degrees, to the southeast.
