Gorskaya prayer times overview
The Gorskaya 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 in Gorskaya is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Gorskaya geographic location is 60.0464°N, 29.9714°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Gorskaya the sun rises at 04:52, while Maghrib begins at 21:19. Daylight lasts 16 часов 27 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 32 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:19 and the morning Fajr at 02:51. For Gorskaya 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 Gorskaya there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Gorskaya differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
If you plan your day around the Gorskaya prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:51 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:19 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:12 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Gorskaya, 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 Gorskaya
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 Gorskaya 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 (02:51) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:19): 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.
Because Gorskaya is located far from the equator, white nights or conditions close to them are observed here in summer, and a very short day in winter. Under such a position of the sun, the classical calculation of Fajr and Isha no longer gives a correct result: twilight may last all night. So that believers can perform the prayer with confidence, the high-latitude adjustment method recommended by Islamic calculation centres is applied.
