Bastan prayer times overview
For Bastan 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.
Bastan 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.
Bastan coordinates: 51.8589°N and 79.4744°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. 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.
Today in Bastan the sun rises at 06:12, while Maghrib begins at 21:23. Daylight lasts 15 часов 11 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Bastan 6 часов 33 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 21:23, while Fajr begins at 03:56. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Bastan the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
When preparing for prayer in Bastan, it is convenient to check Fajr (03:56), Maghrib (21:23) and Isha (23:27) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Bastan, 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.

Questions about prayer times in Bastan
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.
Prayer times in Bastan 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:56) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:23) 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.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Bastan it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
