Bau's times use the JAKIM method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Malaysia. They are drawn from Bau's own coordinates (1.4167°N, 110.1500°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Bau's prayer times are worked out

From Bau, the Qibla is 292° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 7,916 km (4,919 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Bau's own coordinates (1.42°N, 110.15°E), not a national average. That is why Bau's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Bau sits just 1.42°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the JAKIM method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 36m. The shortest is about 13h 27m. That is a swing of only 0h 09m 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 Bau 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 Kuching, Serian and Kota Sambas. Each is only a few minutes off Bau's clock.
