Prayer times in Qandala — common questions
What time is Fajr in Qandala today?
Fajr in Qandala begins at 04:14 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 Qandala?
From Qandala, the Qibla is 317.2° from true north — roughly NW. 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 Qandala?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Somalia. 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 Qandala?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Qandala'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 Qandala from Makkah?
Qandala lies approximately 1539 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.
