Prayer times in Mpika — common questions
What time is Fajr in Mpika today?
Fajr in Mpika begins at 04:59 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 Mpika?
From Mpika, the Qibla is 13.9° 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 Mpika?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Zambia. 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 Mpika from Makkah?
Mpika lies approximately 3809 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 Mpika?
Day length in Mpika ranges from about 11.4 hours at midwinter to 12.8 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 1.4 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
