Prayer times in Hwangju-ŭp — common questions

What time is Fajr in Hwangju-ŭp today?

Fajr in Hwangju-ŭp begins at 03:58 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 Hwangju-ŭp?

From Hwangju-ŭp, the Qibla is 284.7° from true north — roughly WNW. 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 Hwangju-ŭp?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across North Korea. 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 Hwangju-ŭp?

Day length in Hwangju-ŭp ranges from about 9.5 hours at midwinter to 14.9 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 5.4 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 Hwangju-ŭp?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Hwangju-ŭp'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.
