Koltushi prayer times overview
The Koltushi prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Koltushi prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Koltushi the coordinates 59.9297°N and 30.6447°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
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. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
According to today's schedule for Koltushi, the sun rises at 04:50, while the Maghrib time begins at 21:15. 16 часов 25 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Koltushi the period from Maghrib (21:15) to Fajr (02:49) lasts 5 часов 34 минуты. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Koltushi there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Koltushi differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
When preparing for prayer in Koltushi, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:49), Maghrib (21:15) and Isha (23:09) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Koltushi 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 — 02:49: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 04:50: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:03: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:28: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:15: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:09: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Koltushi
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 Koltushi 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 (02:49) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:15): 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.
Because Koltushi 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.
