Prayer times in Herāt — common questions
What time is Fajr in Herāt today?
Fajr in Herāt begins at 03:59 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 Herāt?
From Herāt, the Qibla is 242.5° from true north — roughly WSW. 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 Herāt?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Afghanistan. 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 Herāt?
Day length in Herāt ranges from about 9.9 hours at midwinter to 14.5 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.6 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
How far is Herāt from Makkah?
Herāt lies approximately 2617 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.
