Prayer times in Bowen — common questions

What time is Fajr in Bowen today?

Fajr in Bowen begins at 05:20 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 Bowen?

From Bowen, the Qibla is 285.4° from true north — roughly WNW. 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 Bowen?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Australia. 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.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Bowen?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Bowen'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.

How far is Bowen from Makkah?

Bowen lies approximately 12639 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.
