Afrikanda prayer times overview
The Afrikanda page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time is applied for Afrikanda: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
For Afrikanda the coordinates 67.4429°N and 32.7828°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
According to today's schedule for Afrikanda, the sun rises at 03:36, while the Maghrib time begins at 22:11. 18 часов 35 минут passes between these events. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
The night interval in Afrikanda begins after Maghrib at 22:11 and lasts until Fajr at 02:10. Its duration is 3 часа 59 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Afrikanda, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
For Afrikanda the high-latitude adjustment is important: during a very long day or a short night, the usual astronomical calculation may need correction.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Afrikanda: Fajr — 02:10, Maghrib — 22:11 and Isha — 23:32. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Afrikanda, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 02:10: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 03:36: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:55: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:35: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.

- Isha — 23:32: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Afrikanda
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
We update the schedule in Afrikanda daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:10) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (22:11): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.
The location of Afrikanda at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
