Prayer times in Rakai — common questions
What time is Fajr in Rakai today?
Fajr in Rakai begins at 05:46 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 Rakai?
From Rakai, the Qibla is 19.7° 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 Rakai?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Uganda. 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 Rakai from Makkah?
Rakai lies approximately 2624 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 Rakai?
Day length in Rakai ranges from about 12.1 hours at midwinter to 12.2 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 0.1 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
