Makassar Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Makassar, Indonesia

Prayer times in Makassar are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (5.15°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.

Makassar's times use the Kemenag method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Indonesia. They are drawn from Makassar's own coordinates (5.1486°S, 119.4319°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Makassar's prayer times are worked out

From Makassar, the Qibla is 292° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 9,148 km (5,684 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Makassar's own coordinates (5.15°S, 119.43°E), not a national average. That is why Makassar's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Makassar sits just 5.15°S of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 51m. The shortest is about 13h 13m. That is a swing of only 0h 38m 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 Makassar 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. Makassar sits west of its Makassar meridian. The sun peaks about 11 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:01 PM. We also publish times for nearby Galesong, Watampone and Parepare. Each is only a few minutes off Makassar's clock.
