Karagay prayer times overview
The Karagay page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
The Karagay 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.
Karagay geographic location is 58.2662°N, 54.9325°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. 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 Karagay 16 часов 7 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:22, while the evening prayer begins at 21:29. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Karagay the period from Maghrib (21:29) to Fajr (03:16) lasts 5 часов 47 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Karagay 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 Karagay prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:16 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:29 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:27 the start of the night prayer.
The Karagay 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 — 03:16: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:22: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:26: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:48: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:29: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:27: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Karagay
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.
We update the schedule in Karagay 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, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:16) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:29) 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.
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 Karagay 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.
