Prayer times in Shimen — common questions
What time is Fajr in Shimen today?
Fajr in Shimen begins at 03:58 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 Shimen?
From Shimen, the Qibla is 286.5° from true north — roughly WNW. 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 Shimen?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Taiwan. 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 Shimen?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Shimen'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.
How far is Shimen from Makkah?
Shimen lies approximately 8220 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.
