Akhtala prayer times overview
The Akhtala prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time in Akhtala is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Akhtala geographic location is 41.1495°N, 44.7817°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Akhtala prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
According to today's schedule for Akhtala, the sun rises at 06:01, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:12. 14 часов 11 минут passes between these events. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов 14 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:12 and the morning Fajr at 04:26. For Akhtala this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Akhtala the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Akhtala: Fajr — 04:26, Maghrib — 20:12 and Isha — 21:40. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Akhtala prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:26: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:01: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:07: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:06: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:12: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:40: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Akhtala
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
The prayer schedule in Akhtala is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (04:26) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:12): 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.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Akhtala it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
