How Petaling Jaya's prayer times are worked out

From Petaling Jaya, the Qibla is 293° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 6,967 km (4,329 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Petaling Jaya's own coordinates (3.11°N, 101.61°E), not a national average. That is why Petaling Jaya's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Petaling Jaya sits just 3.11°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the JAKIM method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 42m. The shortest is about 13h 21m. That is a swing of only 0h 21m 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 Petaling Jaya 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 Ara Damansara, Bandar Sunway and Bandar Utama. Each is only a few minutes off Petaling Jaya's clock.
