Samarinda's times use the Kemenag method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Indonesia. They are drawn from Samarinda's own coordinates (0.4917°S, 117.1458°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Samarinda's prayer times are worked out

From Samarinda, the Qibla is 292° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 8,717 km (5,416 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Samarinda's own coordinates (0.49°S, 117.15°E), not a national average. That is why Samarinda's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Samarinda sits just 0.49°S of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 33m. The shortest is about 13h 30m. That is a swing of only 0h 03m 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 Samarinda 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 Loa Janan, Bontang and Balikpapan. Each is only a few minutes off Samarinda's clock.
