Bol'shaya Izhora prayer times overview
For Bol'shaya Izhora 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.
Bol'shaya Izhora prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Bol'shaya Izhora coordinates: 59.9382°N and 29.5686°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
According to today's schedule for Bol'shaya Izhora, the sun rises at 04:55, while the Maghrib time begins at 21:19. 16 часов 24 минуты passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Bol'shaya Izhora the period from Maghrib (21:19) to Fajr (02:53) lasts 5 часов 34 минуты. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Bol'shaya Izhora there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Bol'shaya Izhora differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
If you plan your day around the Bol'shaya Izhora prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:53 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:19 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:13 the start of the night prayer.
The Bol'shaya Izhora 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 — 02:53: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 04:55: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.

Questions about prayer times in Bol'shaya Izhora
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
We update the schedule in Bol'shaya Izhora 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, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (02:53) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (21:19) — 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.
Because Bol'shaya Izhora is located far from the equator, white nights or conditions close to them are observed here in summer, and a very short day in winter. Under such a position of the sun, the classical calculation of Fajr and Isha no longer gives a correct result: twilight may last all night. So that believers can perform the prayer with confidence, the high-latitude adjustment method recommended by Islamic calculation centres is applied.
