Timika's times use the Kemenag method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Indonesia. They are drawn from Timika's own coordinates (4.6141°S, 136.6768°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Timika's prayer times are worked out

From Timika, the Qibla is 291° from true north. Face west to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 10,903 km (6,775 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Timika's own coordinates (4.61°S, 136.68°E), not a national average. That is why Timika's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

Timika sits just 4.61°S of the equator. Its prayer calendar barely shifts across the year. With the Kemenag method, the longest daily fast is about 13h 49m. The shortest is about 13h 15m. That is a swing of only 0h 34m 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 Timika 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. Timika sits close to its Jayapura meridian, so Dhuhr lands near midday — 11:52 AM today. We also publish times for nearby Dobo, Tual and Abepura. Each is only a few minutes off Timika's clock.
