Praying in Gatineau
Fajr in Gatineau reaches 3:14 AM on 17 June, two days before the longest fast of 17h 41m. At 45.5 degrees north the summer sun dips only a little below the horizon at night, so dawn comes early.
The shortest fast, 10h 12m, falls on 21 December, so the fast changes by nearly seven and a half hours across the year. Isha runs from 5:49 PM on 1 December to 10:55 PM on 21 June, just over five hours apart, and Fajr is latest, 6:25 AM, on 6 November, the morning before Quebec's clocks go back.

- Fajr
- 15°
- Isha
- 15°
- Highlighted Asr
- Standard: Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali

Frequently asked questions
Which Asr time does the Gatineau timetable highlight?
The Standard time, when a shadow equals the object's length plus its noon shadow. The Hanafi time is later, since it waits for twice the length, and the toggle above the timetable switches to it.
Which direction is the Qibla in Gatineau?
57 degrees clockwise from true north, north-east leaning toward east. The shortest route to Makkah heads out over the North Atlantic, so a map drawn flat can be misleading.
How short is the night in Gatineau in June?
Isha reaches 10:55 PM on 21 June, and Fajr is as early as 3:14 AM on 17 June, so the interval is roughly four hours.
When is the shortest fast in Gatineau?
10h 12m, on 21 December. Isha's earliest time, 5:49 PM, came twenty days before, on 1 December, and the longest fast, 17h 41m, falls on 19 June.
