Frequently asked questions
How many mosques are near Jersey City?
OpenStreetMap lists 65 mosques within 15 km of the city centre. Congregation times differ from one place to the next, so check with your own masjid, particularly around Ramadan and Eid.
What is the Qibla direction in Jersey City?
58 degrees clockwise from true north, between north-east and east, nearer north-east. The shortest route to Makkah from New Jersey runs over the North Atlantic, which is why a flat map's south-east line is misleading.
When is the longest fast in Jersey City?
On 19 June, at 16h 46m, two days before the summer solstice. Isha is latest on the same date, at 10:11 PM, so the longest fast and the latest night prayer coincide.
How early is Fajr in Jersey City in June?
At 3:45 AM on 12 June, nine days before the solstice. It grows later through the autumn, to 6:15 AM on 6 November, so the morning timetable changes by two and a half hours.
