What time is Fajr in Mazār-e Sharīf today?

Fajr in Mazār-e Sharīf begins at 03:30 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from Mazār-e Sharīf?

Which calculation method is used for Mazār-e Sharīf?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Afghanistan. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.
