Gyulagarak prayer times overview
For Gyulagarak 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 Gyulagarak 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 Gyulagarak the coordinates 40.9653°N and 44.4713°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 Gyulagarak the sun rises at 06:03, while Maghrib begins at 20:13. Daylight lasts 14 часов 10 минут. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов 15 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:13 and the morning Fajr at 04:28. For Gyulagarak this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Gyulagarak the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Gyulagarak: Fajr — 04:28, Maghrib — 20:13 and Isha — 21:40. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Gyulagarak, 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:28: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:03: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:08: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:07: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:13: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.

Questions about prayer times in Gyulagarak
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.
We update the schedule in Gyulagarak 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 (04:28) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:13) 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.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Gyulagarak it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
