Prayer times in Jakarta

Which way to face

From Jakarta, the Qibla is 295 degrees from true north, measured as a great circle to the Kaaba. A phone compass reads magnetic north, which differs from true north by a few degrees in most places, so treat a compass reading as close rather than exact.

How these times are calculated

These use the Muslim World League convention, which sets Fajr at 18 degrees of solar depression and Isha at 17. It is the most widely applied standard in Indonesia and across Europe generally, and it is what most mosques there follow.

The national authority here uses its own convention, which is not one of the presets available. The nearest equivalent is used, and the result can differ from a local timetable by a minute or two.

Times barely move here

Jakarta is at 6.2 degrees, close enough to the equator that day length varies by only about 43 minutes across the entire year. Prayer times shift by a few minutes between seasons and little more, so a timetable printed in January is still broadly right in July.

About the local authority

The national religious authority here publishes its own timetable using a convention of its own. The figures on this page are computed with the closest standard convention and will normally agree to within a minute or two, but where they differ, the local timetable is the one to follow.
