Why Fajr and Isha need an estimation rule here

At this latitude the sun does not sink a full 18° below the horizon around midsummer, so true night — and with it the astronomical basis for Fajr and Isha — does not occur for several weeks. We apply the Middle of the Night rule during that period, splitting the interval between sunset and sunrise. Your local mosque in Velké Opatovice may use a different convention; where they differ, follow the mosque.

Prayer times in Velké Opatovice — common questions

What time is Fajr in Velké Opatovice today?

Fajr in Velké Opatovice begins at 03:00 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 Velké Opatovice?

From Velké Opatovice, the Qibla is 138.6° from true north — roughly SE. 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 Velké Opatovice?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Czechia. 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 Velké Opatovice change much between seasons?

Considerably. With a 8.2-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Velké Opatovice, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.

How far is Velké Opatovice from Makkah?

Velké Opatovice lies approximately 3737 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.
