Arbat prayer times overview
For Arbat 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.
Arbat prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Arbat coordinates: 40.1389°N and 44.4029°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.
Arbat 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.
Today in Arbat 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.
8 часов 24 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:10 and the morning Fajr at 04:34. For Arbat 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 Arbat the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Arbat, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:34), Maghrib (20:10) and Isha (21:35) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Arbat 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 — 04:34: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:06: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:08: 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 — 21:35: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Arbat
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.
The prayer schedule in Arbat 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.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (04:34) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:10) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
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 Arbat 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.
