Prayer times in Madīnat ash Shamāl — common questions
What time is Fajr in Madīnat ash Shamāl today?
Fajr in Madīnat ash Shamāl begins at 03:38 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 Madīnat ash Shamāl?
From Madīnat ash Shamāl, the Qibla is 248.0° 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 Madīnat ash Shamāl?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Qatar. 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 Madīnat ash Shamāl?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Madīnat ash Shamāl'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 Madīnat ash Shamāl from Makkah?
Madīnat ash Shamāl lies approximately 1270 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.
