Prayer times in West Chicago — common questions

What time is Fajr in West Chicago today?

Fajr in West Chicago begins at 03:59 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 Chicago?

From West Chicago, the Qibla is 48.2° 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 West Chicago?

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.

How far is West Chicago from Makkah?

West Chicago lies approximately 11181 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 West Chicago?

Day length in West Chicago ranges from about 9.1 hours at midwinter to 15.2 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 6.1 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
