Season by season in Makassar

Near the equator the timetable is remarkably stable. Makassar sees close to twelve hours of daylight in every month, so Fajr and Maghrib move by minutes rather than hours across the year.

Isha to Fajr

Makassar gets roughly 8 hours and 59 minutes of night between the last prayer and the first. The final third of the night carries particular weight in the tradition, and it is measured from Isha to Fajr rather than by the clock.

Lining up with the Kaaba

Face west-north-west — roughly 292° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. The distance works out to about 9,145 kilometres, or 5,683 miles.

The calculation behind them

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.
