Kuala Lumpur's times use the JAKIM method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Malaysia. They are drawn from Kuala Lumpur's own coordinates (3.1390°N, 101.6869°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Kuala Lumpur's prayer times are worked out

From Kuala Lumpur, the Qibla is 293° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 6,974 km (4,333 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Kuala Lumpur's own coordinates (3.14°N, 101.69°E), not a national average. That is why Kuala Lumpur's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Kuala Lumpur sits just 3.14°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the JAKIM method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 43m. The shortest is about 13h 20m. That is a swing of only 0h 23m 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 Kuala Lumpur 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 Bukit Bintang, Titiwangsa and Sentul. Each is only a few minutes off Kuala Lumpur's clock.
