Fakel prayer times overview
For Fakel 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.
The Fakel 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.
Fakel coordinates: 57.6310°N and 53.0251°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
Fakel prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
According to today's schedule for Fakel, the sun rises at 04:33, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:33. 16 часов passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 52 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:33 and the morning Fajr at 02:25. For Fakel this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Fakel the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
If you plan your day around the Fakel prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:25 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:33 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:33 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Fakel are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Fakel
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
We update the schedule in Fakel 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 (02:25) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:33) 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 not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Fakel according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
