Chiatura prayer times overview
The Chiatura prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time is applied for Chiatura: the city's time zone is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Chiatura coordinates: 42.2981°N and 43.2989°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Chiatura 14 часов 16 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:04, while the evening prayer begins at 20:20. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Chiatura 8 часов 7 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:20, while Fajr begins at 04:27. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Chiatura the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Chiatura, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:27), Maghrib (20:20) and Isha (21:51) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Chiatura 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 — 04:27: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:04: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:13: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:14: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:20: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:51: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Chiatura
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 Chiatura 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 (04:27) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:20): 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 Chiatura 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.
