About Malacca
Malacca (Melaka) sits on the southwestern coast of Peninsular Malaysia, facing the Strait of Malacca, one of the world's busiest maritime corridors. Officially styled the Historic State of Malacca, it is bordered by Negeri Sembilan and Johor, and its capital, Malacca City, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With a population of about 789,000, the area carries a deep Islamic heritage rooted in the historic Malacca Sultanate. This page lists today's Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha times for the local community.
Malacca, officially the Historic State of Malacca, lies in the southern region of the Malay Peninsula along the Strait of Malacca. The state is bordered by Negeri Sembilan to the north and west and Johor to the south, with the exclave of Tanjung Tuan also bordering Negeri Sembilan. Its capital, Malacca City, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised for a historic core shaped by centuries of trade across the strait.
Historically, Malacca was the seat of the Malacca Sultanate, one of the most important early Malay states and a major centre through which Islam spread across the Malay Archipelago. That legacy remains visible in the cultural fabric of the city today, where the local Muslim community observes the five daily prayers and gathers for Friday congregational prayer in mosques across its neighbourhoods. The state's population is around 789,000.
Prayer Times in Malacca
Malacca observes Malaysian Standard Time (UTC+8) all year with no daylight saving, so prayer times here shift only gradually with the seasons. Lying just north of the equator at about 2 degrees latitude, the city sees very little seasonal variation: days and nights stay close to twelve hours each throughout the year, so Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha fall at remarkably steady times from month to month. Times on this page follow the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) method used nationwide.
Ramadan in Malacca
During Ramadan, Malacca's equatorial location keeps the fasting day fairly consistent in length. Because the city sits near the equator, the gap between Fajr (the start of the fast) and Maghrib (when the fast is broken) holds close to twelve hours regardless of which season Ramadan falls in, unlike higher-latitude cities where summer fasts can stretch much longer.
As across Malaysia, the rhythm of the day shifts toward the pre-dawn suhoor meal and the iftar at Maghrib, when families and communities break their fast together. Taraweeh prayers follow the Isha congregation in the evening. The exact daily Fajr and Maghrib times for the current Ramadan are shown in the live timetable above, calculated with the JAKIM method.
