Frequently asked questions
Which direction is the Qibla in Providence?
Face 60 degrees clockwise from true north, between north-east and east but nearer north-east. On a flat map Makkah looks south-east, yet the shortest route from Rhode Island arcs up over the North Atlantic, so the bearing points well to the north.
When is Fajr earliest in Providence?
At 3:27 AM on 13 June, eight days before the solstice on 21 June. The earliest sunrise comes ahead of the solstice, and the dawn prayer tracks it, so Fajr is already getting later by the time the longest day arrives.
When is Fajr latest in Providence?
At 6:05 AM on 6 November, the last morning before the clocks go back on 7 November. The following day the same prayer reads an hour earlier on the clock, so the printed Fajr never again reaches that time before spring.
Is the longest fast in Providence on the summer solstice?
No. The longest fast, 16h 57m, falls on 19 June, two days before the solstice on 21 June. A fast runs from Fajr, set by dawn twilight, to Maghrib at sunset, so its peak need not match the day with the most daylight.
