Prayer times in Gossau — common questions

What time is Fajr in Gossau today?

Fajr in Gossau begins at 03:50 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 Gossau?

From Gossau, the Qibla is 125.9° 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 Gossau?

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.

How far is Gossau from Makkah?

Gossau lies approximately 3978 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.

How much does daylight change through the year in Gossau?

Day length in Gossau ranges from about 8.4 hours at midwinter to 16 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 7.6 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
