Palembang Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Palembang, Indonesia

Prayer times in Palembang are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (2.92°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.

Palembang's times use the Kemenag method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Indonesia. They are drawn from Palembang's own coordinates (2.9167°S, 104.7458°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Palembang's prayer times are worked out

From Palembang, the Qibla is 295° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 7,555 km (4,694 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Palembang's own coordinates (2.92°S, 104.75°E), not a national average. That is why Palembang's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Palembang sits just 2.92°S of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 42m. The shortest is about 13h 21m. That is a swing of only 0h 21m 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 Palembang 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. Palembang sits west of its Jakarta meridian. The sun peaks about 10 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 12:07 PM. We also publish times for nearby Prabumulih, Baturaja and Tanjungagung. Each is only a few minutes off Palembang's clock.
