Prayer times in Kigali — common questions

What time is Fajr in Kigali today?

Fajr in Kigali begins at 04:53 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 Kigali?

From Kigali, the Qibla is 21.7° from true north — roughly NNE. 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 Kigali?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Rwanda. 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 Kigali?

Day length in Kigali ranges from about 12 hours at midwinter to 12.2 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 0.2 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

How far is Kigali from Makkah?

Kigali lies approximately 2808 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.
