Frequently asked questions
Is the 11:00 PM Isha in Sterling Heights a daylight saving time figure?
Yes, on 21 June the clock is an hour ahead, as it has been since 14 March and will be until 7 November in 2027. On standard time the same Isha would read an hour earlier.
Which direction should I face for prayer in Sterling Heights?
The Qibla is 52 degrees clockwise from true north, just past north-east. Makkah is the target of the shortest route over the globe, which from Michigan starts out toward the north-east. A phone compass set to true north gives the closest match.
How early is Isha in winter in Sterling Heights?
Isha is earliest at 6:23 PM on 1 December, twenty days before the winter solstice on 21 December. It moves later from there, though the shortest fast comes on 18 December.
How early can Fajr start in Sterling Heights in June?
As early as 4:08 AM, on 13 June, eight days before the solstice. After the middle of June it begins drifting later week by week.
