Baku prayer times overview

For Baku it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.

The Baku prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.

Baku coordinates: 40.4093°N and 49.8671°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.

Today in Baku the sun rises at 05:43, while Maghrib begins at 19:49. Daylight lasts 14 часов 6 минут. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.

The night interval in Baku begins after Maghrib at 19:49 and lasts until Fajr at 04:11. Its duration is 8 часов 22 минуты. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.

In summer in Baku the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.

Three times are especially important for daily practice in Baku: Fajr — 04:11, Maghrib — 19:49 and Isha — 21:15. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.

The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Baku, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.

Today's key reference points

  • Fajr — 04:11: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
  • Sunrise — 05:43: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
  • Dhuhr — 12:46: the time of the midday prayer.
  • Asr — 17:44: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
  • Maghrib — 19:49: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
  • Isha — 21:15: the night prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Baku

QuestionFor what reason does the Baku prayer schedule not match other cities?
Answer

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.

QuestionHow often is the prayer schedule for Baku updated?
Answer

Prayer times in Baku 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.

QuestionIs this schedule suitable for determining suhur and iftar in Baku?
Answer

Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (04:11) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (19:49) 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.

QuestionIs it acceptable to use the prayer times of a nearby city in Baku?
Answer

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 Baku 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.
