The year 2026 in Kikwit
Time of the five prayers on every day of the year (method: Muslim World League).
- Fajr
- from 04:06 (November 12) to 04:42 (February 24)
- Dhuhr

At 5° latitude, Kikwit is close to the equator, so prayer times barely move. In 2026, Maghrib stays between 17:37 (October 15) and 18:08 (January 22), a spread of only 0 h 31 min over the whole year, and Fajr between 04:06 and 04:42.
Kikwit does not change its clocks in 2026: prayer times drift from day to day without any jump.
In the southern hemisphere the longest days fall in December: in Kikwit, daylight lasts 12 h 25 min on January 1 and 11 h 50 min on June 6.
What latitude changes in Kikwit
At 5° latitude, the Sun sinks more than 18° below the horizon every night of the year: Fajr and Isha at 18° exist all year round in Kikwit.
When the angle is not reached, the “Muslim World League” method uses the middle of the night: in 2026, the displayed Fajr comes from this rule on no day.
No national convention was found for the Democratic Republic of the Congo: times follow the most widely used method, Muslim World League (Fajr at 18°, Isha at 17°).
