How Johor Bahru's prayer times are worked out

From Johor Bahru, the Qibla is 293° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 7,258 km (4,510 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Johor Bahru's own coordinates (1.47°N, 103.76°E), not a national average. That is why Johor Bahru's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Johor Bahru sits just 1.47°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the JAKIM method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 37m. The shortest is about 13h 26m. That is a swing of only 0h 11m 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 Johor Bahru 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 Kampung Larkin Lama, Kampung Kangkar Teberau and Perling. Each is only a few minutes off Johor Bahru's clock.
