Balakovo prayer times overview
The Balakovo 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 Balakovo: the city's time zone is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Balakovo geographic location is 52.0264°N, 47.7972°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Balakovo today is 15 часов 13 минут — from sunrise at 05:18 to Maghrib at 20:31. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Balakovo the period from Maghrib (20:31) to Fajr (03:01) lasts 6 часов 30 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Balakovo the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Balakovo: Fajr — 03:01, Maghrib — 20:31 and Isha — 22:35. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Balakovo 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 Balakovo
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.
The prayer schedule in Balakovo is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:01) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:31): 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.
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 Balakovo 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.
