How Pontianak's prayer times are worked out

From Pontianak, the Qibla is 293° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 7,893 km (4,905 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Pontianak's own coordinates (0.03°S, 109.33°E), not a national average. That is why Pontianak's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Pontianak sits just 0.03°S of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 31m. The shortest is about 13h 31m. That is a swing of only 0h 00m 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 Pontianak 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. Pontianak sits east of its Pontianak meridian. The sun peaks about 9 minutes before noon, so Dhuhr today is 11:49 AM. We also publish times for nearby Singkawang, Kota Sambas and Bau. Each is only a few minutes off Pontianak's clock.
