Prayer times in Whangaparaoa — common questions

What time is Fajr in Whangaparaoa today?

Fajr in Whangaparaoa begins at 05:47 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 Whangaparaoa?

From Whangaparaoa, the Qibla is 261.4° from true north — roughly W. 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 Whangaparaoa?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across New Zealand. 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 Whangaparaoa?

Day length in Whangaparaoa ranges from about 9.7 hours at midwinter to 14.7 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 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 Whangaparaoa?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Whangaparaoa'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.
