Prayer times in Nanjing — common questions
What time is Fajr in Nanjing today?
Fajr in Nanjing begins at 03:50 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 Nanjing?
From Nanjing, the Qibla is 283.2° 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 Nanjing?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across China. 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 Nanjing?
Day length in Nanjing ranges from about 10 hours at midwinter to 14.2 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.2 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
How far is Nanjing from Makkah?
Nanjing lies approximately 7763 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.
