Ashtarak prayer times overview
The Ashtarak page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Ashtarak 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.
Ashtarak geographic location is 40.2976°N, 44.3615°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Ashtarak 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 Ashtarak 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 23 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:10 and the morning Fajr at 04:33. For Ashtarak 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 Ashtarak the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Ashtarak prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:33 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:10 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:36 the start of the night prayer.
The Ashtarak 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 — 04:33: 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 — 21:36: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Ashtarak
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.
We update the schedule in Ashtarak daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (04:33) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:10): 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 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 Ashtarak 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.
