Prayer times in Aarau — common questions
What time is Fajr in Aarau today?
Fajr in Aarau begins at 03:55 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 Aarau?
From Aarau, the Qibla is 124.4° from true north — roughly SE. 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 Aarau?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Switzerland. 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 Aarau?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Aarau'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.
Do prayer times in Aarau change much between seasons?
Considerably. With a 7.5-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Aarau, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
