Bakal prayer times overview
The Bakal prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Bakal prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Bakal coordinates: 54.9417°N and 58.8083°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp 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. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Bakal the sun rises at 05:23, while Maghrib begins at 20:58. Daylight lasts 15 часов 35 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
6 часов 10 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:58 and the morning Fajr at 03:08. For Bakal this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Bakal the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
If you plan your day around the Bakal prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:08 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:58 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:04 the start of the night prayer.
The Bakal 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 — 03:08: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:23: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:11: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:28: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:58: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:04: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Bakal
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 Bakal 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, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:08) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:58) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Bakal it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
