Balgazyn prayer times overview
The Balgazyn prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Balgazyn prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 4 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Balgazyn geographic location is 51.0000°N, 95.2000°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.
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.
The daytime interval in Balgazyn today is 15 часов 6 минут — from sunrise at 05:12 to Maghrib at 20:18. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Balgazyn the period from Maghrib (20:18) to Fajr (03:01) lasts 6 часов 43 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Balgazyn the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
When preparing for prayer in Balgazyn, it is convenient to check Fajr (03:01), Maghrib (20:18) and Isha (22:17) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Balgazyn 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 Balgazyn
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.
We update the schedule in Balgazyn daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:01) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:18) 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 Balgazyn 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.
