Prayer Times in Barabai, Indonesia

The prayer day in Barabai

Barabai is in the southern hemisphere, which turns the usual seasonal advice upside down. Fajr is at its earliest in December, not June.

The night in between

Between Isha at 7:38 pm and Fajr at 4:43 am there are about 9 hours and 5 minutes. If you pray tahajjud, the final third of that stretch is the one to aim for; counting backwards from Fajr is the easier way to locate it.

Method and madhab

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

A walk through today's times

The first call comes at 4:43 am, for Fajr. You have until 5:56 am, when the sun comes up. Midday brings Dhuhr at 12:02 pm; Asr comes round at 4:24 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 6:08 pm; Isha is the last, at 7:38 pm. That is some 12 hours and 12 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.
