Why Fajr and Isha need an estimation rule here

At this latitude the sun does not sink a full 18° below the horizon around midsummer, so true night — and with it the astronomical basis for Fajr and Isha — does not occur for several weeks. We apply the Middle of the Night rule during that period, splitting the interval between sunset and sunrise. Your local mosque in Skärhamn may use a different convention; where they differ, follow the mosque.

Prayer times in Skärhamn — common questions

What time is Fajr in Skärhamn today?

Fajr in Skärhamn begins at 01:18 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 Skärhamn?

From Skärhamn, the Qibla is 138.7° from true north — roughly SE. 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 Skärhamn?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Sweden. 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.

Do prayer times in Skärhamn change much between seasons?

Considerably. With a 11.7-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Skärhamn, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.

How far is Skärhamn from Makkah?

Skärhamn lies approximately 4659 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.
