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 Heerenveen may use a different convention; where they differ, follow the mosque.

Prayer times in Heerenveen — common questions

What time is Fajr in Heerenveen today?

Fajr in Heerenveen begins at 03:01 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 Heerenveen?

From Heerenveen, the Qibla is 127.4° 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 Heerenveen?

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.

How far is Heerenveen from Makkah?

Heerenveen lies approximately 4537 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 Heerenveen?

Day length in Heerenveen ranges from about 7.6 hours at midwinter to 16.9 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 9.3 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
