About prayer times in Karachi

The Karachi method — named after the University of Islamic Sciences in the city — sets both Fajr and Isha at 18° and is the standard across Pakistan, much of India and Bangladesh. Its Fajr matches the Muslim World League's; its Isha, at 18° rather than 17°, comes a few minutes later.

The larger local difference is Asr. Most of Pakistan follows the Hanafi school, which starts Asr when a shadow is twice an object's height rather than once, so the Asr here is the Hanafi time that Karachi's mosques pray. An app set to the standard Asr will call it noticeably earlier — by how much is in the figures below.

Questions

What time is Fajr in Karachi?
It moves through the year: in 2027 the earliest Fajr is 04:13 on 9 June and the latest 05:58 on 9 January, by the Karachi method. Today's time is at the top of this page.
How long is the longest fast in Karachi?
From Fajr to Maghrib, 15 h 10 min around 15 June, against 11 h 57 min around 16 December. Ramadan moves about eleven days earlier each year, so which of those it falls nearer changes over time.
Which direction is the qibla from Karachi?
268° from true north, along the great circle to the Kaaba, 2,800 km away.
Why does my app show different times for Karachi?
Apps choose different calculation methods. At the June solstice the Muslim World League method puts Fajr at 04:14, against 04:14 here — 0 minutes apart. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib barely move between methods; Fajr and Isha are where they part.
