Prayer times in Esquimalt — common questions

What time is Fajr in Esquimalt today?

Fajr in Esquimalt begins at 03:30 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 Esquimalt?

From Esquimalt, the Qibla is 16.5° 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 Esquimalt?

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

Do prayer times in Esquimalt change much between seasons?

Considerably. With a 7.8-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Esquimalt, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.

How far is Esquimalt from Makkah?

Esquimalt lies approximately 12070 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.
