Why use JAKIM prayer times?
JAKIM e-Solat is Malaysia's official prayer time source — 59 zones, Shafi'i school, and the reference for mosques and government agencies nationwide.
Malaysia sets prayer times through the Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM). The e-Solat portal is the official reference used by:
- Mosques and suraus across Malaysia
- State azan systems and official media
- Apps and websites displaying JAKIM data
This site shows the same data — 59 zones, 219 locations, refreshed from JAKIM timetables. For obligatory prayer, follow your exact zone.
