Ijevan prayer times overview
The Ijevan prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Ijevan prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Ijevan the coordinates 40.8804°N and 45.1478°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.
The daytime interval in Ijevan today is 14 часов 10 минут — from sunrise at 06:00 to Maghrib at 20:10. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Ijevan the period from Maghrib (20:10) to Fajr (04:26) lasts 8 часов 16 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Ijevan the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Ijevan: Fajr — 04:26, Maghrib — 20:10 and Isha — 21:37. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Ijevan, 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 — 04:26: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:00: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:05: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:05: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:10: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:37: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Ijevan
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 Ijevan 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 (04:26) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:10) 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 Ijevan 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.
