Prayer times in Meilen — common questions

What time is Fajr in Meilen today?

Fajr in Meilen begins at 03:54 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 Meilen?

From Meilen, the Qibla is 125.0° 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 Meilen?

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.

How far is Meilen from Makkah?

Meilen lies approximately 4006 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 Meilen?

Day length in Meilen ranges from about 8.5 hours at midwinter to 15.9 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 7.4 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
