Kapan prayer times overview
The Kapan prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Kapan 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.
Kapan coordinates: 39.2076°N and 46.4068°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local 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 Kapan today is 12 часов 2 минуты — from sunrise at 06:45 to Maghrib at 18:47. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
10 часов 39 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 18:47 and the morning Fajr at 05:26. For Kapan this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In autumn in Kapan prayer times change gradually: Fajr begins later, while Maghrib begins a little earlier.
If you plan your day around the Kapan prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 05:26 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 18:47 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 20:01 the start of the night prayer.
The Kapan 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 — 05:26: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:45: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:46: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:02: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 18:47: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 20:01: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Kapan
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.
We update the schedule in Kapan daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (05:26) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (18:47) — 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.
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 Kapan 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.
