Areni prayer times overview
The Areni page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time in Areni 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.
Areni coordinates: 39.7221°N and 45.1839°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.
The daytime interval in Areni today is 14 часов 4 минуты — from sunrise at 06:03 to Maghrib at 20:07. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Areni begins after Maghrib at 20:07 and lasts until Fajr at 04:31. Its duration is 8 часов 24 минуты. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Areni the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Areni prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:31 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:07 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:32 the start of the night prayer.
The Areni 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.

Questions about prayer times in Areni
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.
Prayer times in Areni 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (04:31) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:07): 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 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 Areni according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
