Prayer times in Sankwia — common questions

What time is Fajr in Sankwia today?

Fajr in Sankwia begins at 05:32 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 Sankwia?

From Sankwia, the Qibla is 73.2° from true north — roughly ENE. 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 Sankwia?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Gambia. 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 far is Sankwia from Makkah?

Sankwia lies approximately 5909 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.

How much does daylight change through the year in Sankwia?

Day length in Sankwia ranges from about 11.3 hours at midwinter to 12.9 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 1.6 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
