Prayer Times in Gliwice, Poland

Gliwice, hour by hour

There is no national timetable behind this page — Gliwice's times come from Gliwice's own position, 50.29° N, 18.67° E. Sunrise and sunset shift by a few minutes between neighbouring towns, and the prayer times move with them.

The yearly swing

There is a caveat to the summer timetable in Gliwice. For several weeks around the solstice the sun does not dip deep enough for a true Fajr or Isha, and the calculated values become estimates. Local scholarly guidance takes over in that period.

If you are fasting

Stop eating by 4:39 am; break the fast at 4:25 pm. That is about 11 hours and 46 minutes on today's times. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

The direction of prayer

Turn south-east, about 142°, for the qibla. Makkah is around 3,705 kilometres (2,302 miles) away in a straight line.

The clock against the sun

True midday in Gliwice arrives some 31 minutes before what the clock reads. Hence Dhuhr at 11:29 am, with the rest of the afternoon following along behind it. This catches people out regularly, but prayer follows the sun, and the clock is only the label we put on it.

The calculation behind them

The calculation used here is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.

Other Poland timetables

There are 22 more Poland cities here, and each has its own times rather than sharing Gliwice's. If you are travelling within the country, use the page for where you actually are; the difference is small but real.

How the day runs in Gliwice

Everything begins with Fajr, 4:39 am today. By 6:32 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. Dhuhr follows at 11:29 am once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 2:37 pm. Maghrib is prayed at 4:25 pm as the light goes, then Isha at 5:55 pm. Sunrise to sunset, today runs about 9 hours and 53 minutes.

Isha to Fajr

Gliwice gets roughly 10 hours and 44 minutes of night between the last prayer and the first. The final third of the night carries particular weight in the tradition, and it is measured from Isha to Fajr rather than by the clock.
