Jakarta, VIVA – Entering Ramadan 1447 Hijriah, prayer times and imsakiyah schedules serve as key guides for Muslims in DKI Jakarta and surrounding areas like Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi to maintain precise fasting and five daily prayers. These schedules are compiled from accurate astronomical calculations and officially referenced by the public, though minor minute differences occur due to local geography. For Thursday, March 19, 2026, the times are: - Imsak: 04.32 WIB - Subuh: 04.42 WIB - Zuhur: 12.04 WIB - Asar: 15.13 WIB - Maghrib (breaking fast): 18.07 WIB - Isya: 19.16 WIB For comparison, on March 1, 2026 (early Ramadan), Subuh was at 04.43 WIB and Maghrib at 18.15 WIB, showing an earlier shift over days. Imsak provides preparation time before the Subuh call to prayer, while Maghrib signals iftar. The schedule is vital for planning suhoor, daily activities, tarawih prayers, and worship discipline. Prayer times shift a few minutes earlier daily due to the sun's movement, so Muslims are advised to update daily to avoid errors, especially for suhoor and iftar. Thus, it aids in observing Ramadan orderly and devoutly.
