Prayer Times in Knurów, Poland

Prayer times in Knurów

Knurów currently has about 10 hours and 44 minutes of night, from Isha at 5:55 pm through to Fajr at 4:39 am. That span is what the last third of the night is measured against, so it shifts along with the rest of the timetable through the year.

Which way to face in Knurów

Face south-east — roughly 142° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. The distance works out to about 3,698 kilometres, or 2,298 miles.

Fasting hours

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 4:39 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 4:25 pm. Around 11 hours and 46 minutes without food or water today. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

How much the times move

There is a caveat to the summer timetable in Knurów. 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.

Clock time and solar time

Solar noon in Knurów falls about 31 minutes before twelve o'clock. Hence Dhuhr at 11:29 am, with the rest of the afternoon following along behind it. Nothing is wrong with the calculation; timezones are political lines, and the sun does not consult them.

From Fajr to Isha

The first call comes at 4:39 am, for Fajr. The sun appears at 6:32 am, which ends the Fajr period. Next is Dhuhr at 11:29 am, then Asr in the afternoon at 2:38 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 4:25 pm; Isha is the last, at 5:55 pm. That is some 9 hours and 53 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

Elsewhere in Poland

There are 22 more Poland cities here, and each has its own times rather than sharing Knurów's. It is worth switching to the right one when you travel — a few hundred kilometres east or west moves Fajr and Maghrib by a noticeable margin.

How the times are worked out

These times follow 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.
