Prayer times in Qal‘ah-ye Shahr — common questions

What time is Fajr in Qal‘ah-ye Shahr today?

Fajr in Qal‘ah-ye Shahr begins at 03:42 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 Qal‘ah-ye Shahr?

From Qal‘ah-ye Shahr, the Qibla is 244.8° 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 Qal‘ah-ye Shahr?

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 Qal‘ah-ye Shahr?

Day length in Qal‘ah-ye Shahr ranges from about 9.7 hours at midwinter to 14.6 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.9 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 Qal‘ah-ye Shahr?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Qal‘ah-ye Shahr'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.
