Prayer times in al-Qasim — common questions
What time is Fajr in al-Qasim today?
Fajr in al-Qasim begins at 03:46 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 al-Qasim?
From al-Qasim, the Qibla is 202.9° from true north — roughly SSW. 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 al-Qasim?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Iraq. 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 al-Qasim?
Day length in al-Qasim ranges from about 10 hours at midwinter to 14.3 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.3 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
Are these times accurate for a place the size of al-Qasim?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from al-Qasim'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.
