Gugark prayer times overview
For Gugark 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 Gugark 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.
For Gugark the coordinates 40.8046°N and 44.5403°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.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Gugark 14 часов 9 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:03, while the evening prayer begins at 20:12. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Gugark begins after Maghrib at 20:12 and lasts until Fajr at 04:29. Its duration is 8 часов 17 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Gugark the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Gugark: Fajr — 04:29, Maghrib — 20:12 and Isha — 21:39. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Gugark, 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 Gugark
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 Gugark 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (04:29) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:12) 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 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 Gugark 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.
