How Kota Sambas's prayer times are worked out

From Kota Sambas, the Qibla is 292° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 7,831 km (4,866 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kota Sambas's own coordinates (1.36°N, 109.30°E), not a national average. That is why Kota Sambas's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Kota Sambas sits just 1.36°N 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 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 Kota Sambas 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. Kota Sambas sits east of its Pontianak meridian. The sun peaks about 9 minutes before noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:28 AM. We also publish times for nearby Singkawang, Bau and Kuching. Each is only a few minutes off Kota Sambas's clock.
