Prayer times in Sun City West — common questions

What time is Fajr in Sun City West today?

Fajr in Sun City West begins at 04:11 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 Sun City West?

From Sun City West, the Qibla is 29.8° 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 Sun City West?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across United States. 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 much does daylight change through the year in Sun City West?

Day length in Sun City West ranges from about 9.9 hours at midwinter to 14.4 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.5 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Sun City West?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Sun City West'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.
