Frequently asked questions
Which direction is the Qibla from San Jose?
19 degrees clockwise from true north, which is north-north-east. Makkah is far across the globe, and the shortest route from California bends well to the north, so a flat map misleads.
Is the longest fast in San Jose on the summer solstice?
Yes. The longest Fajr-to-Maghrib day, 16h 16m, is on 21 June, the same date as the solstice. The shortest, 10h 53m, is on 19 December, two days before the winter solstice on 21 December.
How late does Fajr get in San Jose?
Fajr is latest at 6:24 AM on 6 November, which is well before midwinter. That is more than two hours later than the earliest Fajr, 4:16 AM on 10 June.
When does Isha stop getting earlier in San Jose?
Isha reaches its earliest, 6:07 PM, on 27 November, about three and a half weeks before the winter solstice on 21 December. From then on it moves later, even while the days keep shortening until the solstice.
