Prayer times in Jakarta

Jakarta lies south of the equator, so its seasons run opposite to every northern city here — though barely, at six degrees out. Note that Indonesia’s own Kemenag uses 20° and 18°; the Egyptian angles below are the closest match Mozzi offers, within a few minutes.

Why timetables disagree

Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun sits below the horizon, and different authorities settled on different angles. A few minutes of variation between two timetables for Jakarta is normal rather than an error — it usually means they use different parameters, not that one is wrong. Mozzi defaults to Egyptian General Authority of Survey here and lets you change it.

Across the year, Fajr in Jakarta ranges from about 04:05 at its earliest to 04:45 at its latest. That spread is the single biggest reason a printed timetable goes stale.

Asr, and the two calculations

Asr is the one prayer where the difference is large rather than marginal. The Hanafi calculation places it noticeably later than the Shafiʿi, Maliki and Hanbali one — in Jakarta today, about 64 minutes later. If Asr looks wrong to you and everything else looks right, that setting is almost always the reason.

Getting the adhan in Jakarta

Mozzi plays a real call to prayer at each time rather than a notification chime, and on iOS 26 it can sound through Silent mode and Focus the way an alarm does. Times are calculated on your phone, so it keeps working with no signal.
