Kalevala prayer times overview
For Kalevala 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.
Kalevala prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Kalevala coordinates: 65.1987°N and 31.1900°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
Kalevala prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
The daytime interval in Kalevala today is 17 часов 44 минуты — from sunrise at 04:08 to Maghrib at 21:52. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
4 часа 36 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:52 and the morning Fajr at 02:28. For Kalevala this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Kalevala, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
Kalevala is located in the high-latitude zone. During such periods, the astronomical calculation of some prayers may become difficult, so the adjustment recommended for northern regions is applied for Fajr and Isha.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Kalevala: Fajr — 02:28, Maghrib — 21:52 and Isha — 23:26. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Kalevala 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 02:28: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 04:08: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:01: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:36: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:52: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:26: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Kalevala
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.
The prayer schedule in Kalevala 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 (02:28) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:52): 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.
Because Kalevala is located far from the equator, white nights or conditions close to them are observed here in summer, and a very short day in winter. Under such a position of the sun, the classical calculation of Fajr and Isha no longer gives a correct result: twilight may last all night. So that believers can perform the prayer with confidence, the high-latitude adjustment method recommended by Islamic calculation centres is applied.
