Prayer times by region in Brunei
Our pages in Brunei are organised in 4 regions. Open your region, then your city: every page has its own coordinates, which is why the times change by a few minutes between cities, east to west and from north to south.
How prayer times are calculated in Brunei
Pages for Brunei use the JAKIM, Malaysia method: Fajr when the sun is 20° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 18° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC+8). In the capital Bandar Seri Begawan, Fajr is about 4:45 AM and Maghrib 6:34 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 4:59 AM and Maghrib at 6:13 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 51 min to 12 h 24 min.
Our cities in Brunei stretch from Kuala Belait in the west to Bangar in the east, and from Serasa in the north to Kuala Belait in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Bangar about 3 minutes before Kuala Belait, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Bandar Seri Begawan is no substitute for that of your own city.
