Prayer times in Birr — common questions

What time is Fajr in Birr today?

Fajr in Birr begins at 03:54 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 Birr?

From Birr, the Qibla is 124.6° 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 Birr?

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.

Do prayer times in Birr change much between seasons?

Considerably. With a 7.6-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Birr, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.

How far is Birr from Makkah?

Birr lies approximately 4044 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.
