Almaty prayer times overview

For Almaty it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.

Local time in Almaty is 2 часа 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.

For Almaty the coordinates 43.2389°N and 76.8897°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr 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 Almaty the sun rises at 04:48, while Maghrib begins at 19:08. Daylight lasts 14 часов 20 минут. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.

8 часов passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 19:08 and the morning Fajr at 03:08. For Almaty 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 Almaty the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.

If you plan your day around the Almaty prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:08 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 19:08 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 20:41 the start of the night prayer.

The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Almaty, 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 — 03:08: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.

  • Dhuhr — 11:58: the time of the midday prayer.
  • Asr — 17:01: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
  • Maghrib — 19:08: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
  • Isha — 20:41: the night prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Almaty

QuestionWhy do Almaty prayer times differ from the schedules of other cities?
Answer

The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.

QuestionHow regularly does the prayer schedule in Almaty change?
Answer

Prayer times in Almaty 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.

QuestionCan this schedule be used for suhur and iftar in Almaty?
Answer

Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:08) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (19:08): 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.

QuestionCan the schedule of a neighbouring city be relied on in Almaty?
Answer

It is not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Almaty according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
