Jakarta is home to the Istiqlal Mosque, the largest mosque in Southeast Asia, which stands across the street from the city's cathedral. Because Jakarta lies close to the equator, its prayer times change by only about half an hour over the whole year. The times follow Kemenag, Indonesia's Ministry of Religious Affairs.

Compass correction in Jakarta
A phone compass points to magnetic north, not true north. Magnetic north in Jakarta is currently 0.6° east of true north, so the Qibla reads as 294.5° on a magnetic compass. The live compass on Al Qibla Finder makes this correction for you automatically.
A difference of 0.6° is small: across a prayer mat it moves your direction by about 1 cm.
Find the Qibla in Jakarta with the sun
Twice a year the sun passes directly over the Kaaba. At that moment, anyone who can see the sun only needs to face it to face the Qibla, and every shadow points directly away from Makkah. No phone or compass is needed.

The sun stays close enough to give a useful direction for about five minutes before and after these times, on the day itself and one day either side.
The daily sun direction
On some days there is also a moment when the sun stands exactly in the Qibla direction as seen from Jakarta, or exactly opposite it. Here is today's moment:
From here the sun never lines up with the Qibla while it is above the horizon, so this method does not work. Use the compass instead.

Good to know in Jakarta
Prayer times in Indonesia are set by the official authority (Indonesia – Kemenag). This page uses the same method, including the safety minutes they add, and is checked against their timetable.
Indonesia does not change its clocks during the year (UTC+7).
About the Hijri date
Indonesia follows its own moon sighting, so the Hijri date on this page is adjusted by −1 day compared with the Umm al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia. It can still differ by one day from the official date at the start of a month.
Ramadan 2027 in Jakarta
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on Monday, February 8, 2027. The official start in Indonesia depends on the moon sighting announced the evening before. Suhoor ends at Fajr and the fast is broken at Maghrib.
