Prayer times in West Cambridge/Harvard Square — common questions
What time is Fajr in West Cambridge/Harvard Square today?
Fajr in West Cambridge/Harvard Square begins at 03:45 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 West Cambridge/Harvard Square?
From West Cambridge/Harvard Square, the Qibla is 60.4° from true north — roughly ENE. 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 West Cambridge/Harvard Square?
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.
Are these times accurate for a place the size of West Cambridge/Harvard Square?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from West Cambridge/Harvard Square's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.
Do prayer times in West Cambridge/Harvard Square change much between seasons?
Considerably. With a 6.2-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in West Cambridge/Harvard Square, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
