About Abuja
Abuja is the capital of Nigeria, a purpose-built city in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) at the geographic midpoint of the country, where it serves as the seat of the Federal Government and spreads across more than 50 districts. It replaced Lagos as the national capital on 12 December 1991 and sits on elevated terrain at roughly 360 metres. For the city's Muslim community, this page lists today's Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha times.
Prayer Times in Abuja
Abuja observes West Africa Time (UTC+1) all year with no daylight saving, so prayer times shift only with the seasons rather than with any clock change. At about 9 degrees north, near the tropics, daylight length stays fairly even across the year, so the gaps between Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha vary only modestly from summer to winter compared with places farther from the equator. The times shown here are calculated using the Muslim World League method.
