Prayer Times in Jakarta, Indonesia
Jakartaprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (6.2088°S, 106.8456°E) using the Kemenag calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Indonesia. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.
The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Jakarta's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Jakarta prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Jakarta's prayer times are worked out
Jakarta sits 7,920 km (4,921 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 295° from true north — you face northwest to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Indonesia follows the Kemenag method set by Kementerian Agama, Indonesia's Ministry of Religious Affairs: Fajr begins when the sun is 20° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 18°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.
Day length is what really moves the timetable in Jakarta. Measured with the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 13h 54m around December, while the shortest is roughly 13h 09m in June: a swing of 0h 45m across the year. That spread is set by Jakarta's latitude (6.21°S); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
Jakarta sits close to the meridian of its Asia/Jakarta time zone, so the sun peaks within 1 minutes of clock noon and Dhuhr lands near midday — today at 12:00 PM. Dhuhr always tracks the sun's peak, not the clock. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Bekasi, South Tangerang, Ciputat — close enough that their times differ from Jakarta's by only a few minutes.
Who sets prayer times in Indonesia
Indonesia has a clear official source: the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kementerian Agama, or Kemenag), through its Directorate General of Islamic Community Guidance, publishes the Jadwal Shalat for districts across the country. Its method — Subuh 20°, Isya 18° — is the national standard and is what this page uses. Indonesian Islam is overwhelmingly Shafi'i, so Asr is called on the first-shadow rule and the later Hanafi time is not part of local practice. The live debate in Indonesia is not about Asr at all but about the Subuh angle, where a reduction from 20° to 18° has been argued over publicly.
Istiqlal, Demak and Indonesian mosque life
Jakarta's Istiqlal Mosque, inaugurated as the national mosque in 1978, is the largest in Southeast Asia and holds well over 100,000 worshippers. It was designed by Friedrich Silaban — a Protestant Christian architect, the son of a Batak Lutheran pastor, who won the open competition — and it stands directly opposite Jakarta Cathedral; a 28-metre "Tunnel of Friendship" now physically links the two. Java's oldest surviving mosque, the Great Mosque of Demak, dates to 1479 and is tied to the Wali Songo who spread Islam across the island, while Banda Aceh's Baiturrahman Grand Mosque, completed in 1881, famously survived the 2004 tsunami. Religious life is shaped by two mass organisations: the traditionalist, explicitly Shafi'i Nahdlatul Ulama — the world's largest Islamic organisation — and the reformist Muhammadiyah.
