Prayer Times in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur observes Malaysia Standard Time (UTC+8) all year with no daylight saving, so prayer times shift only gradually with the seasons. Lying just north of the equator at about 3.1 degrees latitude, the city sees very little variation in day length across the year, so the five daily prayers stay close to the same clock times from month to month, with only minor changes between the wetter and drier seasons. Times here follow the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) method, the official standard used throughout Malaysia.
Ramadan in Kuala Lumpur
During Ramadan, Muslims in Kuala Lumpur observe the daily fast from Fajr until Maghrib. Because the city lies close to the equator, day length stays fairly constant through the year, so the fasting day remains a similar length regardless of which season Ramadan falls in, without the very long or very short fasts experienced at higher latitudes.
The suhoor (pre-dawn meal) is taken before the Fajr time shown above, and the fast is broken at Maghrib. Throughout the month, congregations gather for the additional nightly Taraweeh prayers after Isha at mosques across the city. All times on this page follow the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) method used nationwide, so they align with the schedules observed locally.
