Karaul prayer times overview
The Karaul 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 Karaul prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 4 часа ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Karaul the coordinates 70.0767°N and 83.1914°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
Today in Karaul 19 часов 51 minute passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 03:36, while the evening prayer begins at 23:27. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
3 часа 2 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 23:27 and the morning Fajr at 02:29. For Karaul 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 Karaul, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
Karaul 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 Karaul: Fajr — 02:29, Maghrib — 23:27 and Isha — 00:29. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Karaul 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 — 02:29: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 03:36: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:33: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 19:20: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 23:27: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 00:29: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Karaul
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 Karaul 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:29) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (23:27) 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.
In Karaul, due to the high geographic latitude, peculiar astronomical conditions arise. In summer the sun does not set deep below the horizon, the night is very short or bright, and in some periods true twilight may not occur at all. In winter, on the contrary, the day is extremely short. Under such conditions, the usual astronomical calculation of the Fajr and Isha times becomes difficult, so a special adjustment method recommended for high latitudes is applied.
