Prayer Times in Ipoh — 2023

If you are in Ipoh today (Monday, 31 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 06:00 (Fajr), 13:16 (Dhuhr), 16:24 (Asr), 19:23 (Maghrib) and 20:28 (Isha). Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Kuala_Lumpur timezone (UTC+8), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for Ipoh: 4.5975, 101.0901. Time zone Asia/Kuala_Lumpur (UTC+8) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The listed population is about 800,000 people.

Ipoh is close enough to the tropics that twilight angles are usually reached every night of the year. High-latitude patches are rarely needed. In August 2026 the sun rises at 07:10 and Maghrib is at 19:23. Dhuhr (13:16) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Ipoh.

Calculation for Ipoh starts from Muslim World League. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Travellers through Ipoh should remember that airport and hotel clocks follow civil time, which this timetable already uses. Maghrib is tied to sunset at the city’s coordinates, not to the time a flight lands.

Qibla from Ipoh is 291.9° from true north (WNW), about 6,851 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in George Town (124 km), prayer times in Kuala Lumpur (175 km), prayer times in Shah Alam (176 km), prayer times in Johor Bahru (454 km), prayer times in Kuching (1083 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Ipoh is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
