Prayer times in Bet Shemesh — common questions

What time is Fajr in Bet Shemesh today?

Fajr in Bet Shemesh begins at 04:26 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 Bet Shemesh?

From Bet Shemesh, the Qibla is 156.1° from true north — roughly SSE. 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 Bet Shemesh?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Israel. 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 Bet Shemesh?

Day length in Bet Shemesh ranges from about 10.1 hours at midwinter to 14.2 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.1 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

How far is Bet Shemesh from Makkah?

Bet Shemesh lies approximately 1242 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.
