Prayer times in Shaqqā — common questions
What time is Fajr in Shaqqā today?
Fajr in Shaqqā begins at 04:16 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 Shaqqā?
From Shaqqā, the Qibla is 165.6° from true north — roughly SSE. 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 Shaqqā?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Syria. 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 Shaqqā from Makkah?
Shaqqā lies approximately 1313 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 Shaqqā?
Day length in Shaqqā ranges from about 10 hours at midwinter to 14.3 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.3 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
