Jadwal Sholat in Surabaya, Indonesia Today

Surabaya prayer times today — East Java's fighting spirit and busiest harbor

Surabaya prayer times govern daily life in a city that proudly calls itself the City of Heroes — a reference to Indonesia's independence struggle — and backs that title with one of the busiest ports in Southeast Asia. Spread along the Mas River and the straits toward Madura, Surabaya calculates Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha from coordinates near 7.26°S, 112.75°E every day. Workers who have long relied on a handwritten jadwal sholat Surabaya at the factory gate now find the same KEMENAG-backed schedule here, refreshed automatically for Tunjungan Plaza shoppers and Tanjung Perak stevedores alike.

From the Arab Quarter around Ampel Mosque to the modern campuses of ITS and Airlangga University, from Wonokromo market to the industrial zones of Gresik across the bridge, the metropolitan area shares one prayer clock under Western Indonesian Time.

Fajr before the port wakes and Maghrib over the straits

Fajr prayer time Surabaya breaks over a city that starts early — fish auctions near the harbor and becak drivers in the old city are often awake before the first light spreads across the red-tiled roofs of colonial-era buildings. Surabaya sits slightly south of Jakarta but still near the equator, so seasonal variation in dawn and dusk remains modest. Maghrib prayer time Surabaya follows sunset; families in Kenjeran along the north coast watch the sun drop toward the Java Sea while mosques broadcast the adhan across neighborhoods where Chinese, Javanese, and Madurese communities have traded for generations.

Dhuhr in the business district and Asr in the heat

Dhuhr structures the workday along Jalan Basuki Rachmat and the commercial spine connecting Tunjungan to Gubeng, where banks and shipping offices pause for midday prayer. Asr prayer time Surabaya arrives in the hottest part of the afternoon during the dry season, when students at Airlangga University seek shade in campus mosques and factory workers in Rungkut time their breaks to the official KEMENAG table posted at the security gate.

KEMENAG and WIB — the national standard Surabaya shares with all of Java

Surabaya follows the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kementerian Agama) calculation used nationwide — Fajr near twenty degrees, Isha near eighteen degrees, Asr by the Shafi'i shadow rule — published officially as the national jadwal sholat and mirrored here as KEMENAG method 20. The Ampel Mosque, one of the oldest in Java, and the modern Al-Akbar Mosque with its green domes both rely on this same astronomical framework rather than independent local tables.

The city runs on Asia/Jakarta (WIB, UTC+7) without daylight saving. Surabaya is one hour behind Makassar and Denpasar on WITA; travelers flying in from eastern Indonesia should reset their prayer apps when landing at Juanda International Airport, not only their wristwatches.

Jumu'ah at Ampel and Friday crowds on Jalan Pemuda

Jummah prayer time Surabaya draws large congregations to the historic Ampel Mosque in the Arab Quarter, to Al-Akbar in the south, and to neighborhood jami' masjids along Jalan Pemuda and Diponegoro. Surabaya's direct culture means many office workers prefer walking to a nearby mosque rather than driving through pre-khutbah traffic, and overflow lines on sidewalks are common near the hospital district around RSUD Dr. Soetomo.

Ramadan in Surabaya: sahur with rawon, iftar after Maghrib

During Ramadan, Surabaya families track Fajr prayer time Surabaya for sahur — often featuring rawon, the city's famous black beef soup, before dawn closes the eating window. Iftar at Maghrib brings takjil stalls to streets near Pasar Atom and Turi market, while charitable groups distribute rice boxes to port workers still on shift at Tanjung Perak. The monthly Surabaya calendar helps plan fasting across the full month without rechecking daily.

Port economy, university life, and the Madura connection

Surabaya's economy revolves around Tanjung Perak port and the industrial corridor toward Gresik and Sidoarjo. Crane operators and warehouse staff coordinate breaks with Dhuhr and Asr; the adhan from mosques in the container yard district is part of the shift rhythm. Students crossing between Airlangga's Kampus B and Kampus C plan tutorials around Asr, while the Suramadu Bridge link to Madura Island means worshippers in Bangkalan check essentially the same jadwal sholat Surabaya with only seconds of difference.

Football fans leaving Gelora Bung Tomo stadium on match nights still consult Maghrib before heading home — a city that prides itself on passion respects the prayer clock with equal seriousness.

Qibla direction and nearby East Java cities

From Surabaya, the Qibla points west-northwest toward Makkah. Use the Qibla direction tool in high-rise apartments near Pakuwon City or Citraland. Compare schedules with Malang prayer times in the cool highlands, Semarang prayer times on the north coast of Central Java, or Jakarta prayer times in the capital — all WIB, with small coordinate shifts. The Hijri calendar complements the daily table for Ramadan and Eid.

Questions people ask about Surabaya prayer times

Do Surabaya and Malang share identical prayer times?

They are very close because both use WIB and sit in East Java, but Malang's higher elevation and different coordinates shift Fajr and Maghrib by a minute or two — not enough to matter for most daily planning, but worth noting if you commute between them.

Which calculation method do Surabaya mosques use?

Overwhelmingly KEMENAG (method 20), the Ministry of Religious Affairs standard. This page uses the same method.

Does Surabaya observe daylight saving time?

No. Indonesia abolished daylight saving decades ago; Surabaya stays on WIB (UTC+7) year-round.

From colonial lanes to industrial sprawl

In the old city around Jalan Karet, becak riders pause at Maghrib before the evening rush, while in the west, Citraland and Lontar's residential mosques run youth pengajian after Isha. Surabaya is loud, fast, and proud — and its Surabaya prayer times today table keeps all of it synchronized to one KEMENAG schedule, five times a day.
