Ganja prayer times overview
For Ganja 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.
Local time in Ganja is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Ganja coordinates: 40.6828°N and 46.3606°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.
Ganja 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 southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
According to today's schedule for Ganja, the sun rises at 05:56, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:05. 14 часов 9 минут passes between these events. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Ganja begins after Maghrib at 20:05 and lasts until Fajr at 04:22. Its duration is 8 часов 17 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Ganja the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Ganja: Fajr — 04:22, Maghrib — 20:05 and Isha — 21:31. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Ganja, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.

Questions about prayer times in Ganja
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.
Prayer times in Ganja 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (04:22) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:05): 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.
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 Ganja according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
