Aknashen prayer times overview
The Aknashen 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 is applied for Aknashen: the city's time zone is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Aknashen coordinates: 40.0928°N and 44.2916°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Aknashen 14 часов 4 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:06, while the evening prayer begins at 20:10. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Aknashen 8 часов 24 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:10, while Fajr begins at 04:34. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Aknashen the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Aknashen: Fajr — 04:34, Maghrib — 20:10 and Isha — 21:36. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Aknashen are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:34: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:06: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:09: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:06: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:10: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:36: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Aknashen
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.
Prayer times in Aknashen are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (04:34) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:10) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Aknashen it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
