Basen prayer times overview
The Basen 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 Basen: the city's time zone is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
For Basen the coordinates 40.7577°N and 43.9927°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
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 southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
According to today's schedule for Basen, the sun rises at 06:06, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:13. 14 часов 7 минут passes between these events. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Basen the period from Maghrib (20:13) to Fajr (04:33) lasts 8 часов 20 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Basen the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Basen: Fajr — 04:33, Maghrib — 20:13 and Isha — 21:40. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Basen 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 — 04:33: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:06: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:10: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:08: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:13: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:40: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Basen
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 Basen 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 (04:33) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:13): 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 Basen 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.
