Prayer Times in Kuala Lumpur — 2028

Prayer times in Kuala Lumpur today (Monday, 31 August 2026): Fajr 05:59, Sunrise 07:08, Dhuhr 13:14, Asr 16:24, Maghrib 19:20, Isha 20:24. 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.

Kuala Lumpur is listed under Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. The engine uses 3.1390 latitude and 101.6869 longitude with IANA zone Asia/Kuala_Lumpur. 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 1.8 million people.

Kuala Lumpur 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 07:08 and Maghrib is at 19:20. Dhuhr (13:14) tracks astronomical noon plus a small equation-of-time correction, which is why a printed table copied from another country will not match Kuala Lumpur.

The Muslim World League method is the starting point on this Kuala Lumpur 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.

Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) has both long-established and newer Muslim communities. Jumu'ah times are set by each mosque and are not computed here — only the five daily prayers and sunrise.

Qibla from Kuala Lumpur is 292.5° from true north (WNW), about 6,974 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 Shah Alam (20 km), prayer times in Ipoh (175 km), prayer times in Johor Bahru (293 km), prayer times in George Town (294 km), prayer times in Kuching (979 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 Kuala Lumpur is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
