Prayer times by month

Times for the 15th of each month, 2026, Jimma local time (Muslim World League). Fajr and Isha depend on the calculation method; sunrise and Maghrib are purely astronomical.

Waking for Fajr is the hard part

In Jimma, Fajr comes as early as 05:00 in June. The prayer itself takes minutes — the battle is the wake-up. Fajr lands in the deepest stretch of the night's sleep, when your body temperature is lowest and a swipe-to-dismiss alarm doesn't stand a chance: your hand cancels it before your brain is awake. In mid-September that means being up before 06:26, day after day.

What helps: a consistent bedtime worked back from Fajr (the sleep calculator does the math), light exposure discipline (how light sets your sleep schedule), and an alarm that cannot be silenced from under the blanket.

Frequently asked questions

What time is Fajr in Jimma?

Today Fajr begins around 05:16 local time. Across the year it moves between roughly 05:00 in June and 05:41 in February — the table on this page lists every month.

Which calculation method do these times use?

Muslim World League — the convention most widely used in this region. Fajr and Isha depend on the twilight angle a method assumes, so they can differ by some minutes from your local mosque's timetable; Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib barely differ between methods. When in doubt, follow your mosque.

Do the times include daylight saving?

Yes. Every time is shown in Jimma local time using current timezone rules, so clock changes are already baked in.

How do I actually wake up for Fajr?

The honest answer: a normal alarm is easy to swipe away half-asleep, especially when Fajr lands before 06:26. An alarm that only stops after you complete a real task — walking to another room to scan something, or solving a problem — forces your brain awake before your hand can cancel it.

Why people use Captain Wake to wake up on time

Not because it rings louder. Because it removes every way your half-asleep brain talks you back into bed.

There is no button to tap

Swiping an alarm away is a reflex you can perform while still asleep. A mission needs your thinking brain switched on — and once it is on, sinking back under is much harder.

It survives every trick

Force-quit the app, restart the phone, flip it to silent, turn the volume down. The alarm re-arms and keeps going until the mission is actually done.

It gets you physically upright

Photo and barcode missions are anchored to a spot in another room, so the only way to stop the noise is to stand up and walk there. You cannot pre-stage it from bed.

It fixes the night, not just the morning

A sleep forecast before bed, bedtime reminders and wake-up streaks — because the 6 AM problem usually starts at 1 AM.

The alarm that gets you up for Fajr — every single day.

Captain Wake keeps ringing until you get up and complete a real-world mission. No snooze, no swipe-and-sleep.
