Koktal prayer times overview
The Koktal page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time in Koktal is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Koktal coordinates: 49.6500°N and 73.5167°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
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 the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
According to today's schedule for Koktal, the sun rises at 04:45, while the Maghrib time begins at 19:38. 14 часов 53 минуты passes between these events. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Koktal begins after Maghrib at 19:38 and lasts until Fajr at 02:42. Its duration is 7 часов 4 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Koktal the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Koktal: Fajr — 02:42, Maghrib — 19:38 and Isha — 21:30. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.

Questions about prayer times in Koktal
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.
The prayer schedule in Koktal 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:42) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (19:38): 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 Koktal 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.
