Prayer Times in Jakarta — 2027

Accurate prayer times for Jakarta on Monday, 31 August 2026: Fajr 04:44, Shuruq 05:54, Dhuhr 11:53, Asr 15:12, Maghrib 17:54, Isha 18:58. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Asia/Jakarta timezone (UTC+7 · WIB), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Jakarta is listed under Jakarta in Indonesia. The engine uses -6.2088 latitude and 106.8456 longitude with IANA zone Asia/Jakarta. A mosque a few kilometres away will usually match these times to the minute; a different city, even in the same metro area, can drift by two to five minutes because longitude shifts solar noon. The urban area is on the order of 10.6 million people.

Jakarta 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 05:54 and Maghrib is at 17:54. Dhuhr (11:53) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Jakarta.

The Muslim World League method is the starting point on this Jakarta page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). 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.

Indonesia’s Ministry of Religious Affairs publishes official times that can differ slightly from MWL. This page is an independent astronomical calculation for Jakarta’s coordinates; use the ministry table when you need the civil-religious official time.

Qibla from Jakarta is 295.2° from true north (WNW), about 7,920 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 Bandung (116 km), prayer times in Semarang (403 km), prayer times in Palembang (426 km), prayer times in Yogyakarta (427 km), prayer times in Surabaya (663 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 Jakarta is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
