Jambi Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Jambi, Indonesia

Prayer times in Jambi are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (1.60°S). 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.

Jambi's times use the Kemenag method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Indonesia. They are drawn from Jambi's own coordinates (1.6000°S, 103.6167°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Jambi's prayer times are worked out

From Jambi, the Qibla is 294° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 7,380 km (4,586 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Jambi's own coordinates (1.60°S, 103.62°E), not a national average. That is why Jambi's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Jambi sits just 1.60°S of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 37m. The shortest is about 13h 25m. That is a swing of only 0h 12m between December and June. Whenever Ramadan falls, fasting hours here stay much the same — something cities farther from the equator never see.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Jambi 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 Mendaha, Palembang and Lubuklinggau. Each is only a few minutes off Jambi's clock.
