Kola prayer times overview
The Kola page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time is applied for Kola: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Kola geographic location is 68.8814°N, 33.0177°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. 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.
The daytime interval in Kola today is 19 часов 17 минут — from sunrise at 03:14 to Maghrib at 22:31. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
The night interval in Kola begins after Maghrib at 22:31 and lasts until Fajr at 01:58. Its duration is 3 часа 27 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Kola, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
Kola 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 Kola: Fajr — 01:58, Maghrib — 22:31 and Isha — 23:42. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Kola are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Kola
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
Prayer times in Kola 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (01:58) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (22:31) 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.
Because Kola is located far from the equator, white nights or conditions close to them are observed here in summer, and a very short day in winter. Under such a position of the sun, the classical calculation of Fajr and Isha no longer gives a correct result: twilight may last all night. So that believers can perform the prayer with confidence, the high-latitude adjustment method recommended by Islamic calculation centres is applied.
