Lagos times for right now, computed on your device
The Lagos table above was built at deploy time; this block recomputes for the city REAL current day (fixing timezone drift) and runs entirely in the browser.
The five salat in Lagos: today and tomorrow
Both tables are here on purpose. The site rebuilds once a day in universal time and a single HTML file is served to every timezone, so claiming only "today" would be false for a few hours across part of the world. That is why Lagos shows today and tomorrow, and the calculation block above flags which of the two applies by the clock on your device. Shuruq is sunrise, sitting between Fajr and Dhuhr.

Geography of the times in Lagos
The sun crosses its highest point 53 minutes after local clock noon, which is why Dhuhr begins at 12:53. Today the span between Fajr and Maghrib, the daily fast, runs 13 hours and 43 minutes in Lagos. The Kaaba, in Mecca, lies 4,251 km from Lagos in a straight line, toward the east-northeast (63.3 degrees from true north): that is where the Qibla points.
Calculation method in Lagos
What separates one calculation authority from another is a single number: the angle of the sun under the horizon that defines Fajr at dawn and Isha at dusk. Lagos follows the Muslim World League (MWL), adopted across the region, with Fajr at 18 degrees, Isha at 17 degrees. Sunrise (Shuruq), solar noon (Dhuhr) and sunset (Maghrib) hardly move from one method to the next. Asr, however, shifts with the school of jurisprudence, and the default used here is Shafi (shadow reaches once the object height). In the Hanafi school Asr comes later.
Honesty and sources
Treat this table as a verifiable starting point, not the final word: the one who calls the prayer in Lagos is the local mosque, and its authority prevails over any calculation. Different authorities land a few minutes apart, and it is common to add an ihtiyat of precaution to Fajr or to push Isha later. Underneath, these are the Meeus solar formulas applied to 6.5244 N, 3.3792 E (Africa/Lagos timezone) by the open adhan-js library, MIT licensed by Batoul Apps. Ramadan and Eid are left out on purpose, because they hinge on sighting the hilal and on proclamation, not on arithmetic. And the interactive part is private: the calculations happen in your browser and your location, if granted, remains on the device.
