Karinj prayer times overview
For Karinj 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.
Karinj 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.
Karinj coordinates: 40.9724°N and 44.6898°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.
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 southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Karinj the sun rises at 06:02, while Maghrib begins at 20:12. Daylight lasts 14 часов 10 минут. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Karinj begins after Maghrib at 20:12 and lasts until Fajr at 04:27. Its duration is 8 часов 15 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Karinj the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Karinj: Fajr — 04:27, Maghrib — 20:12 and Isha — 21:39. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Karinj, 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 — 04:27: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:02: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:07: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:07: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:12: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:39: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Karinj
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 Karinj 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (04:27) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:12): 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 Karinj 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.
