Prayer times in Batu Niah — common questions

What time is Fajr in Batu Niah today?

Fajr in Batu Niah begins at 05:10 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 Batu Niah?

From Batu Niah, the Qibla is 291.2° 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 Batu Niah?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Malaysia. 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 Batu Niah?

Day length in Batu Niah ranges from about 11.9 hours at midwinter to 12.3 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 0.4 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Batu Niah?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Batu Niah's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.
