How Shah Alam's prayer times are worked out

From Shah Alam, the Qibla is 293° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 6,960 km (4,325 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Shah Alam's own coordinates (3.09°N, 101.53°E), not a national average. That is why Shah Alam's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Shah Alam sits just 3.09°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the JAKIM method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 43m. The shortest is about 13h 20m. That is a swing of only 0h 23m 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 Shah Alam 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 Subang Jaya, Ara Damansara and Kampung Baru Subang. Each is only a few minutes off Shah Alam's clock.
