Prayer Times in Mikołów, Poland

Prayer times in Mikołów

Between the last prayer of one day and the first of the next, Mikołów gets roughly 10 hours and 41 minutes of darkness. Everything else on this page hangs off the same two points: when the sun sets and when it comes back.

A note on the method used

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

The clock against the sun

Solar noon in Mikołów falls about 32 minutes before twelve o'clock. Hence Dhuhr at 11:28 am, with the rest of the afternoon following along behind it. It is not an error — timezones are drawn for administrative convenience, not astronomical accuracy.

Through the year

At this latitude, midsummer creates a real difficulty: the sky never fully darkens, so there is no moment when the sun sits far enough below the horizon to give a clear Fajr or Isha. Communities in places like Mikołów generally follow a local ruling through those weeks — the nearest large mosque or Islamic centre will have guidance. The rest of the year the calculated times work as normal.

From Fajr to Isha

Fajr opens the day at 4:37 am, well before first light. You have until 6:29 am, when the sun comes up. Midday brings Dhuhr at 11:28 am; Asr comes round at 2:39 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 4:26 pm, and Isha closes the day at 5:56 pm. Around 9 hours and 57 minutes of daylight, all told.

Lining up with the Kaaba

The qibla from here runs south-east, a bearing of about 143°. The distance works out to about 3,684 kilometres, or 2,289 miles.

Fasting hours

The fasting day here runs 4:37 am to 4:26 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 11 hours and 49 minutes. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.
