Prayer times in Balikpapan — common questions

What time is Fajr in Balikpapan today?

Fajr in Balikpapan begins at 05:05 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from Balikpapan?

From Balikpapan, the Qibla is 292.2° from true north — roughly WNW. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.

Which calculation method is used for Balikpapan?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Indonesia. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.

How much does daylight change through the year in Balikpapan?

Day length in Balikpapan ranges from about 12 hours at midwinter to 12.2 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 0.2 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

How far is Balikpapan from Makkah?

Balikpapan lies approximately 8717 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
