Bala Prayer Times
Bala is located in Ankara, Turkey (39.5534°, 33.1238°). Prayer times for Bala are calculated using the Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı (Turkey) calculation method, which is the standard for this region. This method determines the exact angles of the sun below the horizon to calculate Fajr and Isha times, while Dhuhr, Asr, and Maghrib are derived from the sun's zenith and position.
Prayer times in Bala shift by 1–2 minutes every day throughout the year. This natural variation happens because Earth's orbit around the sun is elliptical, not circular — meaning the sun's apparent speed changes slightly with the seasons. During summer months, days are longer and prayer times are more spread out; in winter they are compressed. For this reason, it is important to check the times daily rather than relying on a fixed schedule.
The five daily prayers — Fajr at dawn, Dhuhr at midday, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib at sunset, and Isha at night — are the foundation of a Muslim's day. During Ramadan, Fajr time also marks the end of Sehri (the pre-dawn meal) and Maghrib marks Iftar (breaking the fast). Bookmark this page for always-accurate, daily-updated prayer times for Bala.
