Prayer Times in Sandakan Today

Prayer times are calculated astronomically from Sandakan's coordinates (5.8402, 118.1179) and its time zone Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, using the JAKIM method issued by Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia. Fajr and Isha are defined by the angle of the sun below the horizon, while Dhuhr is set by the sun passing its zenith.
