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 Velsen-Zuid may use a different convention; where they differ, follow the mosque.

Prayer times in Velsen-Zuid — common questions

What time is Fajr in Velsen-Zuid today?

Fajr in Velsen-Zuid begins at 03:10 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 Velsen-Zuid?

From Velsen-Zuid, the Qibla is 125.4° 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 Velsen-Zuid?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across The Netherlands. 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 Velsen-Zuid from Makkah?

Velsen-Zuid lies approximately 4573 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 Velsen-Zuid?

Day length in Velsen-Zuid ranges from about 7.7 hours at midwinter to 16.8 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 9.1 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
