Batam Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Batam, Indonesia

Prayer times in Batam are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (1.15°N). We use the Kemenag method, the one followed across Indonesia. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.

Batam's times use the Kemenag method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Indonesia. They are drawn from Batam's own coordinates (1.1494°N, 104.0249°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Batam's prayer times are worked out

From Batam, the Qibla is 293° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 7,299 km (4,535 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Batam's own coordinates (1.15°N, 104.02°E), not a national average. That is why Batam's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Batam sits just 1.15°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 35m. The shortest is about 13h 28m. That is a swing of only 0h 07m 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 Batam 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 Singapore, Pasir Gudang and Kampung Pasir Gudang Baru. Each is only a few minutes off Batam's clock.
