Khantau prayer times overview
The Khantau prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time is applied for Khantau: the city's time zone is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Khantau geographic location is 44.2263°N, 73.7941°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Khantau prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
According to today's schedule for Khantau, the sun rises at 04:59, while the Maghrib time begins at 19:22. 14 часов 23 минуты passes between these events. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
7 часов 55 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 19:22 and the morning Fajr at 03:17. For Khantau this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Khantau the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Khantau: Fajr — 03:17, Maghrib — 19:22 and Isha — 20:56. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Khantau 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 — 03:17: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 04:59: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:11: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:13: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 19:22: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 20:56: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Khantau
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 Khantau 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 (03:17) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (19:22): 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.
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 Khantau 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.
