Prayer Times in Kulat, Indonesia

Prayer times in Kulat

Between the last prayer of one day and the first of the next, Kulat gets roughly 8 hours and 50 minutes of darkness. That span is what the last third of the night is measured against, so it shifts along with the rest of the timetable through the year.

Today's timetable

Fajr opens the day at 4:36 am, well before first light. You have until 5:51 am, when the sun comes up. Next is Dhuhr at 12:03 pm, then Asr in the afternoon at 4:26 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 6:16 pm, and Isha closes the day at 7:46 pm. Around 12 hours and 25 minutes of daylight, all told.

What changes between summer and winter

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

The fasting day in Kulat

The fasting day here runs 4:36 am to 6:16 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 13 hours and 40 minutes. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

Isha to Fajr

From Isha to Fajr is around 8 hours and 50 minutes at the moment. For anyone praying tahajjud, the last third of that period is the part traditionally singled out — work back from Fajr rather than forward from Isha to find it.

The calculation behind them

The underlying method is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.
