Frequently asked questions
Which direction is the Qibla from Bakersfield?
23 degrees clockwise from true north, north-north-east. On a flat map Makkah appears to the east, but the shortest route across the globe leaves California heading well north. Face true north and turn about a quarter of the way toward east.
When is the longest fast in Bakersfield?
On 18 June, at 16h 00m, three days before the solstice on 21 June. The shortest, 11h 02m, falls on 16 December, five days before the winter solstice, so the gap between them is just under five hours.
When is Fajr latest in Bakersfield?
At 6:11 AM on 6 November, almost two hours later than the earliest Fajr, which is at 4:14 AM on 10 June. The latest Fajr comes well before midwinter, not near the solstice.
Is Isha earliest on the shortest day in Bakersfield?
No. It is earliest at 5:58 PM on 28 November, over three weeks before the winter solstice on 21 December. Isha is latest at 9:42 PM on 23 June.
