Prayer times in Pul-e ‘Alam — common questions
What time is Fajr in Pul-e ‘Alam today?
Fajr in Pul-e ‘Alam begins at 03:32 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 Pul-e ‘Alam?
From Pul-e ‘Alam, the Qibla is 251.5° from true north — roughly WSW. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.
Which calculation method is used for Pul-e ‘Alam?
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.
How much does daylight change through the year in Pul-e ‘Alam?
Day length in Pul-e ‘Alam ranges from about 9.9 hours at midwinter to 14.4 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.5 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
Are these times accurate for a place the size of Pul-e ‘Alam?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Pul-e ‘Alam's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.
