Prayer times in Pilgrim’s Rest — common questions

What time is Fajr in Pilgrim’s Rest today?

Fajr in Pilgrim’s Rest begins at 05:14 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 Pilgrim’s Rest?

From Pilgrim’s Rest, the Qibla is 11.5° 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 Pilgrim’s Rest?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across South Africa. 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 Pilgrim’s Rest?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Pilgrim’s Rest'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 Pilgrim’s Rest from Makkah?

Pilgrim’s Rest lies approximately 5244 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.
