Prayer times in Songwŏn-ŭp — common questions

What time is Fajr in Songwŏn-ŭp today?

Fajr in Songwŏn-ŭp begins at 03:48 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 Songwŏn-ŭp?

From Songwŏn-ŭp, the Qibla is 284.6° 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 Songwŏn-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.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Songwŏn-ŭp?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Songwŏn-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.

How far is Songwŏn-ŭp from Makkah?

Songwŏn-ŭp lies approximately 8199 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.
