Prayer times in Joliet — common questions
What time is Fajr in Joliet today?
Fajr in Joliet 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 Joliet?
From Joliet, the Qibla is 48.4° from true north — roughly NE. 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 Joliet?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across United States. 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 Joliet change much between seasons?
Considerably. With a 6-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Joliet, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
How far is Joliet from Makkah?
Joliet lies approximately 11200 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.
