Aykhal prayer times overview
The Aykhal prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time is applied for Aykhal: the city's time zone is 6 часов ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Aykhal geographic location is 65.9338°N, 111.4834°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
Today in Aykhal the sun rises at 04:42, while Maghrib begins at 22:36. Daylight lasts 17 часов 54 минуты. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Aykhal begins after Maghrib at 22:36 and lasts until Fajr at 03:04. Its duration is 4 часа 28 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Aykhal, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
Aykhal is located in the high-latitude zone. During such periods, the astronomical calculation of some prayers may become difficult, so the adjustment recommended for northern regions is applied for Fajr and Isha.
If you plan your day around the Aykhal prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:04 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 22:36 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 00:07 the start of the night prayer.
The Aykhal 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 — 03:04: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 04:42: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:40: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 19:15: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 22:36: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 00:07: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Aykhal
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.
Prayer times in Aykhal 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 (03:04) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (22:36): 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.
The location of Aykhal at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
