Prayer times in Shelui — common questions

What time is Fajr in Shelui today?

Fajr in Shelui begins at 05:39 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 Shelui?

From Shelui, the Qibla is 11.9° from true north — roughly NNE. 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 Shelui?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Tanzania. 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 Shelui?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Shelui'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 Shelui from Makkah?

Shelui lies approximately 2932 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.
