Prayer Times in Bieruń, Poland

Praying in Bieruń

Bieruń sits far enough from the equator that the prayer timetable barely resembles itself from one season to the next. Summer brings very early Fajr times and a late Isha; in December, Maghrib arrives while the afternoon still feels young.

Bieruń today, prayer by prayer

The first call comes at 4:37 am, for Fajr. The sun appears at 6:30 am, which ends the Fajr period. Dhuhr follows at 11:27 am once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 2:36 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 4:24 pm; Isha is the last, at 5:54 pm. That is some 9 hours and 54 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

Method and madhab

The underlying method is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

Finding the qibla

Face south-east — roughly 143° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. The distance works out to about 3,669 kilometres, or 2,280 miles.

The clock against the sun

Solar noon in Bieruń falls about 33 minutes before twelve o'clock. That is why Dhuhr sits at 11:27 am rather than just past midday, and it carries through to Asr, Maghrib and Isha as well. It is not an error — timezones are drawn for administrative convenience, not astronomical accuracy.
