Why use JAKIM prayer times?
JAKIM e-Solat is Malaysia's official prayer time source — 59 zones, Shafi'i school, the reference for mosques and government agencies. For obligatory prayer in Malaysia, that is the correct reference — not a global app.

Why JAKIM, not a clock app?
Malaysia sets prayer times through the Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM). The e-Solat portal is used by mosques, state azan systems, and official media. Phone clocks often use foreign parameters.
- Mosques and suraus across Malaysia
- State azan systems and official media
- This site — the same data, BM/EN formatting
What if I only follow Google?
You may break fast early or miss Fajr by a few minutes. For obligatory worship, that risk is not worth it. Comparison: Google vs JAKIM.
Does this site replace e-Solat?
No. We reformat the official timetable. Last-word verification stays at e-solat.gov.my.
