Prayer times in Qaryat al Qī‘ān — common questions

What time is Fajr in Qaryat al Qī‘ān today?

Fajr in Qaryat al Qī‘ān begins at 05:00 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 Qaryat al Qī‘ān?

From Qaryat al Qī‘ān, the Qibla is 105.9° from true north — roughly ESE. 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 Qaryat al Qī‘ān?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Libya. 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 Qaryat al Qī‘ān?

Day length in Qaryat al Qī‘ān ranges from about 10 hours at midwinter to 14.2 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 4.2 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 Qaryat al Qī‘ān?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Qaryat al Qī‘ān'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.
