Balashikha prayer times overview
For Balashikha 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.
Local time is applied for Balashikha: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
For Balashikha the coordinates 55.7963°N and 37.9382°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
Today in Balashikha the sun rises at 04:42, while Maghrib begins at 20:25. Daylight lasts 15 часов 43 минуты. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
6 часов 5 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:25 and the morning Fajr at 02:30. For Balashikha 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 summer in Balashikha the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
If you plan your day around the Balashikha prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:30 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:25 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:29 the start of the night prayer.
The Balashikha 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 — 02:30: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 04:42: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:34: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:52: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:25: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 22:29: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Balashikha
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.
The prayer schedule in Balashikha 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.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (02:30) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:25) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
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 Balashikha 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.
