Gzhel' prayer times overview
The Gzhel' page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
The Gzhel' prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is Same as Moscow time (MSK). Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Gzhel' coordinates: 55.6101°N and 38.3940°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.
Gzhel' 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.
Today in Gzhel' 15 часов 41 minute passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:41, while the evening prayer begins at 20:22. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Gzhel' the period from Maghrib (20:22) to Fajr (02:28) lasts 6 часов 6 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Gzhel' 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 Gzhel' prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:28 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:22 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:27 the start of the night prayer.
The Gzhel' prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.

Questions about prayer times in Gzhel'
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 Gzhel' 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:28) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:22) 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 Gzhel' according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
