Prayer times in Kota Bharu — common questions

What time is Fajr in Kota Bharu today?

Fajr in Kota Bharu begins at 05:53 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 Kota Bharu?

From Kota Bharu, the Qibla is 291.0° 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 Kota Bharu?

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 far is Kota Bharu from Makkah?

Kota Bharu lies approximately 6908 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.

How much does daylight change through the year in Kota Bharu?

Day length in Kota Bharu ranges from about 11.8 hours at midwinter to 12.5 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 0.7 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
