Prayer times in Laufen — common questions
What time is Fajr in Laufen today?
Fajr in Laufen begins at 03:57 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 Laufen?
From Laufen, the Qibla is 123.7° from true north — roughly ESE. 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 Laufen?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Switzerland. 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 Laufen change much between seasons?
Considerably. With a 7.6-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Laufen, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
How far is Laufen from Makkah?
Laufen lies approximately 4087 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.
