Prayer Times in Jakarta, Indonesia

Praying in Jakarta

There are around 12 hours and 19 minutes between sunrise and sunset in Jakarta today. None of the five are fixed to the clock — they follow the sun, and the sun keeps different hours in every month.

Nearby cities

15 other cities in Indonesia are listed on this site, each with its own calculated timetable. It is worth switching to the right one when you travel — a few hundred kilometres east or west moves Fajr and Maghrib by a noticeable margin.

Lining up with the Kaaba

Turn west-north-west, about 295°, for the qibla. That puts the Kaaba roughly 7,917 km — 4,919 miles — from here. Compass apps usually read magnetic north rather than true north, so allow a few degrees of local declination if you are setting a prayer mat precisely.

Why your mosque may differ slightly

The calculation used here is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.

The shape of the day

It starts in the dark, with Fajr at 4:14 am. The window stays open until sunrise, 5:27 am. Midday brings Dhuhr at 11:36 am; Asr comes round at 3:59 pm. Maghrib is prayed at 5:46 pm as the light goes, then Isha at 7:16 pm. Sunrise to sunset, today runs about 12 hours and 19 minutes.

Through the year

There is not much of a yearly swing here. Daylight hovers around twelve hours all year in Jakarta, keeping the whole timetable within a narrow band.

Ramadan timings

Stop eating by 4:14 am; break the fast at 5:46 pm. That is about 13 hours and 32 minutes on today's times. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.
