Kerchevskiy prayer times overview
The Kerchevskiy page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Kerchevskiy prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Kerchevskiy geographic location is 59.9456°N, 56.2959°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
The daytime interval in Kerchevskiy today is 16 часов 26 минут — from sunrise at 05:07 to Maghrib at 21:33. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 33 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:33 and the morning Fajr at 03:06. For Kerchevskiy 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 Kerchevskiy there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
In Kerchevskiy there may be white nights at the beginning of summer: twilight does not always pass into full darkness. For this reason the interval between Maghrib, Isha and Fajr shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Kerchevskiy: Fajr — 03:06, Maghrib — 21:33 and Isha — 23:26. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Kerchevskiy 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 — 03:06: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:07: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:21: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:46: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:33: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:26: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Kerchevskiy
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.
Prayer times in Kerchevskiy are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:06) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:33): 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.
The location of Kerchevskiy at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
