Praying in Pretoria
Pretoria's late dawn comes at the very start of July: Fajr is latest at 5:33 AM on 1 July, well after the 21 June solstice, even though the shortest Fajr-to-Maghrib day was back on 16 June. The evening side peaks earlier still, with Isha at its earliest, 6:41 PM, on 26 May, almost a month before midwinter.
For a city at 25.7 degrees south, the year's range is gentle. Isha stays between 6:41 PM and 8:27 PM all year, and the fast from Fajr to Maghrib never goes beyond 15h 16m, reached on 19 December. There are no clock changes, so nothing jumps overnight.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Isha latest in January and not on the longest day in Pretoria?
Sunset keeps getting later for a while after the 22 December solstice, and Isha follows it. In Pretoria it peaks at 8:27 PM on 3 January, while the longest Fajr-to-Maghrib day, 15h 16m, was on 19 December.
Which Asr time is highlighted for Pretoria?
Gauteng pages highlight the Hanafi Asr time, which begins when an object's shadow is twice its length plus the noon shadow. The Standard time is earlier, and a toggle above the timetable lets you switch between them.
How many mosques are listed near Pretoria?
OpenStreetMap lists 29 mosques within 15 km of the city centre, and the nearest appear on this page with distances. Volunteers maintain that map, so some are missing. Confirm each mosque's own timetable for congregation times.
What is the Qibla bearing in Pretoria?
15 degrees clockwise from true north, so the Qibla lies north-north-east. Set against a phone compass, remember that magnetic north sits at a slightly different angle, so check the compass tool here if you want it lined up precisely.
