Prayer times in Vélingara — common questions
What time is Fajr in Vélingara today?
Fajr in Vélingara begins at 05:27 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 Vélingara?
From Vélingara, the Qibla is 72.9° from true north — roughly ENE. 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 Vélingara?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Senegal. 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.
Are these times accurate for a place the size of Vélingara?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Vélingara'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.
How far is Vélingara from Makkah?
Vélingara lies approximately 5774 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.
