Prayer times in Lilongwe — common questions

What time is Fajr in Lilongwe today?

Fajr in Lilongwe begins at 04:52 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 Lilongwe?

From Lilongwe, the Qibla is 9.6° from true north — roughly N. 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 Lilongwe?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Malawi. 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 Lilongwe?

Day length in Lilongwe ranges from about 11.3 hours at midwinter to 13 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 1.7 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

How far is Lilongwe from Makkah?

Lilongwe lies approximately 3990 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.
