Sibolga's times use the Kemenag method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Indonesia. They are drawn from Sibolga's own coordinates (1.7402°N, 98.7812°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Sibolga's prayer times are worked out

From Sibolga, the Qibla is 294° from true north. Face northwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 6,738 km (4,187 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Sibolga's own coordinates (1.74°N, 98.78°E), not a national average. That is why Sibolga's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Sibolga sits just 1.74°N of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 37m. The shortest is about 13h 26m. That is a swing of only 0h 11m 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 Sibolga 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 Padangsidempuan, Rantauprapat and Sidikalang. Each is only a few minutes off Sibolga's clock.
