About Johor Bahru
Johor Bahru, the capital of the Malaysian state of Johor, sits at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula directly across the strait from Singapore. As the core city of Johor Bahru District, it recorded a population of 858,118 in the 2020 census, making it the largest state capital in Malaysia by population. Prayer times here are calculated using the method of the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), the national authority that standardises the Islamic calendar and worship schedule across the country, and the city observes Malaysia Time (UTC+8) year-round without any daylight-saving adjustment.
Prayer Times in Johor Bahru
Johor Bahru lies just under 1.5 degrees north of the equator, so the length of daylight stays remarkably steady throughout the year and the five daily prayer times shift only marginally from season to season. Fajr and Isha fall at broadly similar clock times in every month, and the gap between dawn and nightfall changes little, unlike cities in higher latitudes that see long summer days and short winter days. Times are computed with the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) method, and because the city does not use daylight-saving time the schedule follows a single Malaysia Time (UTC+8) standard all year. The qibla from Johor Bahru points to a bearing of roughly 293 degrees, toward the northwest, the direction worshippers face for prayer.
