Arzni prayer times overview
The Arzni page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time is applied for Arzni: the city's time zone is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
For Arzni the coordinates 40.2964°N and 44.5958°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 Arzni 11 часов 59 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:53, while the evening prayer begins at 18:52. Right now the day is slightly shorter than average, so Maghrib begins earlier than in the summer months.
The night interval in Arzni begins after Maghrib at 18:52 and lasts until Fajr at 05:33. Its duration is 10 часов 41 minute. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In autumn in Arzni prayer times change gradually: Fajr begins later, while Maghrib begins a little earlier.
If you plan your day around the Arzni prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 05:33 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 18:52 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 20:07 the start of the night prayer.
The Arzni 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 Arzni
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 Arzni 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, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (05:33) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (18:52) — 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 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 Arzni according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
