Padang Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Padang, Indonesia

Padang's times use the Kemenag method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Indonesia. They are drawn from Padang's own coordinates (0.9492°S, 100.3543°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Padang's prayer times are worked out

From Padang, the Qibla is 295° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 7,020 km (4,362 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Padang's own coordinates (0.95°S, 100.35°E), not a national average. That is why Padang's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Padang sits just 0.95°S of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 35m. The shortest is about 13h 28m. That is a swing of only 0h 07m 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 Padang 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 Solok, Pariaman and Padangpanjang. Each is only a few minutes off Padang's clock.
