Ilja prayer times overview
For Ilja 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 Ilja 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.
Ilja geographic location is 54.4167°N, 27.2958°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
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 the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Ilja today is 12 часов — from sunrise at 07:02 to Maghrib at 19:02. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
10 часов 13 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 19:02 and the morning Fajr at 05:15. For Ilja this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In the autumn months in Ilja daylight shortens, so the difference between the summer and current Maghrib times becomes noticeable.
When preparing for prayer in Ilja, it is convenient to check Fajr (05:15), Maghrib (19:02) and Isha (20:42) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Ilja
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.
Prayer times in Ilja 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, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (05:15) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (19:02) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
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 Ilja 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.
