How Batu Caves's prayer times are worked out

From Batu Caves, the Qibla is 292° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 6,969 km (4,330 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Batu Caves's own coordinates (3.24°N, 101.68°E), not a national average. That is why Batu Caves's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Batu Caves sits just 3.24°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the JAKIM method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 43m. The shortest is about 13h 20m. That is a swing of only 0h 23m 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 Batu Caves come from JAKIM, Malaysia's federal Islamic authority. The JAKIM 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 Selayang Baru Utara, Taman Melati and Kepong. Each is only a few minutes off Batu Caves's clock.
