Prayer times in Jinja — common questions

What time is Fajr in Jinja today?

Fajr in Jinja begins at 05:37 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 Jinja?

From Jinja, the Qibla is 16.7° 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 Jinja?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Uganda. 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 Jinja from Makkah?

Jinja lies approximately 2441 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 Jinja?

Day length in Jinja ranges from about 12.1 hours at midwinter to 12.1 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 0 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
