Why Fajr and Isha need an estimation rule here

At this latitude the sun does not sink a full 18° below the horizon around midsummer, so true night — and with it the astronomical basis for Fajr and Isha — does not occur for several weeks. We apply the Middle of the Night rule during that period, splitting the interval between sunset and sunrise. Your local mosque in Beetsterzwaag may use a different convention; where they differ, follow the mosque.

Prayer times in Beetsterzwaag — common questions

What time is Fajr in Beetsterzwaag today?

Fajr in Beetsterzwaag begins at 02:53 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 Beetsterzwaag?

From Beetsterzwaag, the Qibla is 127.7° 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 Beetsterzwaag?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across The Netherlands. 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 Beetsterzwaag?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Beetsterzwaag'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.

Do prayer times in Beetsterzwaag change much between seasons?

Considerably. With a 9.4-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Beetsterzwaag, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
