Prayer times in Maogong — common questions
What time is Fajr in Maogong today?
Fajr in Maogong begins at 04:47 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 Maogong?
From Maogong, the Qibla is 281.8° from true north — roughly WNW. 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 Maogong?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across China. 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 Maogong?
Day length in Maogong ranges from about 10.5 hours at midwinter to 13.8 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 3.3 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 Maogong?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Maogong'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.
