Is prayer times overview
The Is prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
The Is prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Is the coordinates 58.7909°N and 59.7179°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
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 northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
Today in Is 16 часов 13 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:00, while the evening prayer begins at 21:13. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Is 5 часов 43 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 21:13, while Fajr begins at 02:56. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Is 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 Is prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:56 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:13 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:10 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Is, 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 — 02:56: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:00: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:07: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:30: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:13: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:10: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Is
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 Is 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:56) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:13): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.
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 Is 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.
