How Pekalongan's prayer times are worked out

From Pekalongan, the Qibla is 295° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 8,235 km (5,117 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Pekalongan's own coordinates (6.89°S, 109.68°E), not a national average. That is why Pekalongan's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Pekalongan sits just 6.89°S of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 57m. The shortest is about 13h 07m. That is a swing of only 0h 50m 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 Pekalongan 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. Pekalongan sits east of its Jakarta meridian. The sun peaks about 10 minutes before noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:47 AM. We also publish times for nearby Kedungwuni, Comal and Pemalang. Each is only a few minutes off Pekalongan's clock.
