How Kungsholmen's prayer times are worked out

From Kungsholmen, the Qibla is 148° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,555 km (2,831 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kungsholmen's own coordinates (59.33°N, 18.04°E), not a national average. That is why Kungsholmen's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Day length is what moves the Kungsholmen timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 19h 23m around June. It eases to 8h 38m by December. That is a 10h 45m swing, set by the city's latitude of 59.33°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Kungsholmen 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. Kungsholmen sits close to its Stockholm meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 12:46 PM today. We also publish times for nearby Stockholm, Vasastaden and Södermalm.
