The shaded area runs from Fajr to Maghrib; the dotted line is sunrise.

At 6.4° latitude, Tshikapa is close to the equator, so prayer times barely move. In 2026, Maghrib stays between 18:28 (May 14) and 19:02 (January 22), a spread of only 0 h 34 min over the whole year, and Fajr between 04:56 and 05:36.

Tshikapa 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 Tshikapa, daylight lasts 12 h 30 min on December 12 and 11 h 45 min on June 10.

What latitude changes in Tshikapa

At 6.4° 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 Tshikapa.

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°).
