Muslims in Jakarta enter the second day of fasting in Ramadan 1447 Hijriah on Monday, February 23, 2026. The government set 1 Ramadan on Thursday, February 19, 2026, via isbat session. Prayer times for the five daily prayers and imsak serve as key guides for worship.
Fasting in Ramadan 1447 Hijriah has entered its second day after the government officially set the start of the holy month on Thursday, February 19, 2026, through an isbat session. Muslims in the DKI Jakarta area and surroundings are urged to note the schedule for the five daily prayers to ensure sahur, prayers, and iftar are performed on time.
The prayer schedule for Monday, February 23, 2026, in DKI Jakarta is as follows: Subuh at 04:42 WIB, Zuhur at 12:10 WIB, Asar at 15:18 WIB, Maghrib at 18:17 WIB, and Isya at 19:26 WIB. The imsak schedule records imsak at 04:32 WIB, about 10 minutes before the Subuh call to prayer, as a final reminder for sahur. A minor discrepancy in Asar time is reported as 15:17 WIB in one source, though most confirm 15:18 WIB.
Prayer is a primary act of worship in Islam, serving as the pillar of the religion and a means to draw closer to Allah SWT, as commanded in the Al-Quran. In Ramadan, the rewards for prayer are multiplied, including optional prayers like tarawih and witir. Imsak acts as a precautionary limit before Subuh time, although fasting in sharia terms begins with the Subuh adhan.
This schedule is crucial for Jakarta's urban residents to maintain focused worship amid busy lives. Ramadan fasting trains piety, patience, and empathy, with every good deed earning multiplied rewards. Muslims are encouraged to persevere in worship throughout the holy month.
