Prayer times in Pieterlen — common questions

What time is Fajr in Pieterlen today?

Fajr in Pieterlen begins at 04:00 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 Pieterlen?

From Pieterlen, the Qibla is 123.2° from true north — roughly ESE. 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 Pieterlen?

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 Pieterlen from Makkah?

Pieterlen lies approximately 4082 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 Pieterlen?

Day length in Pieterlen ranges from about 8.5 hours at midwinter to 15.9 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 7.4 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
