Prayer times in Shalkar — common questions
What time is Fajr in Shalkar today?
Fajr in Shalkar begins at 04:06 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 Shalkar?
From Shalkar, the Qibla is 198.5° from true north — roughly SSW. 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 Shalkar?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Kazakhstan. 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 far is Shalkar from Makkah?
Shalkar lies approximately 3068 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
How much does daylight change through the year in Shalkar?
Day length in Shalkar ranges from about 8.4 hours at midwinter to 16.1 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 7.7 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
