Culfa prayer times overview
The Culfa page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
The Culfa prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Culfa the coordinates 38.9540°N and 45.6296°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.
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 Culfa 14 часов 1 minute passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:03, while the evening prayer begins at 20:04. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Culfa the period from Maghrib (20:04) to Fajr (04:32) lasts 8 часов 28 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Culfa the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.

Questions about prayer times in Culfa
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.
Prayer times in Culfa 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, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (04:32) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:04) — 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.
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 Culfa 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.
