Banda Aceh's times use the Kemenag method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Indonesia. They are drawn from Banda Aceh's own coordinates (5.5417°N, 95.3333°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Banda Aceh's prayer times are worked out

From Banda Aceh, the Qibla is 292° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 6,221 km (3,865 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Banda Aceh's own coordinates (5.54°N, 95.33°E), not a national average. That is why Banda Aceh's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Banda Aceh sits just 5.54°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 52m. The shortest is about 13h 12m. That is a swing of only 0h 40m between June and December. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Banda Aceh come from Kementerian Agama, Indonesia's Ministry of Religious Affairs. The Kemenag method sets Fajr when the sun is 20° below the horizon, and Isha at 18°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Meulaboh, Lhokseumawe and Langsa. Each is only a few minutes off Banda Aceh's clock.
