Chekalin prayer times overview
The Chekalin prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
The Chekalin prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is Same as Moscow time (MSK). Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Chekalin the coordinates 54.0969°N and 36.2450°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr 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.
The daytime interval in Chekalin today is 15 часов 29 минут — from sunrise at 04:56 to Maghrib at 20:25. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Chekalin the period from Maghrib (20:25) to Fajr (02:40) lasts 6 часов 15 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Chekalin the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Chekalin: Fajr — 02:40, Maghrib — 20:25 and Isha — 22:33. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.

Questions about prayer times in Chekalin
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 Chekalin 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 (02:40) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:25) 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 Chekalin 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.
