Ålesund's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Norway. They are drawn from Ålesund's own coordinates (62.4723°N, 6.1549°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Ålesund's prayer times are worked out

From Ålesund, the Qibla is 135° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 5,227 km (3,248 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ålesund's own coordinates (62.47°N, 6.15°E), not a national average. That is why Ålesund's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Daylight is the hard part in Ålesund. At 62.47°N, 6.15°E, the sun never drops the full 18° below the horizon in midsummer. So the twilight that sets Fajr and Isha never arrives. Read literally, the fast would run past twenty hours. Mosques in Ålesund follow an agreed rule instead. Most use the times of the nearest town where night still falls, or Mecca's clock. A calculated Fajr works in the darker months. Near midsummer, check with your local mosque.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ålesund come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Bergen, Trondheim and Asker. Each is only a few minutes off Ålesund's clock.
