Prayer times in Kara-Balta — common questions

What time is Fajr in Kara-Balta today?

Fajr in Kara-Balta begins at 04:03 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 Kara-Balta?

From Kara-Balta, the Qibla is 243.8° from true north — roughly WSW. 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 Kara-Balta?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Kyrgyzstan. 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.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Kara-Balta?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Kara-Balta'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.

Do prayer times in Kara-Balta change much between seasons?

Considerably. With a 6.3-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Kara-Balta, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
