Prayer times in Ga-Rankuwa — common questions

What time is Fajr in Ga-Rankuwa today?

Fajr in Ga-Rankuwa begins at 05:25 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 Ga-Rankuwa?

From Ga-Rankuwa, the Qibla is 14.8° from true north — roughly NNE. 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 Ga-Rankuwa?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across South Africa. 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 far is Ga-Rankuwa from Makkah?

Ga-Rankuwa lies approximately 5384 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.

How much does daylight change through the year in Ga-Rankuwa?

Day length in Ga-Rankuwa ranges from about 10.5 hours at midwinter to 13.7 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 3.2 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
