Kotekhi prayer times overview
The Kotekhi 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 Kotekhi: the city's time zone is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Kotekhi coordinates: 41.7529°N and 45.7790°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Kotekhi 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.
The daytime interval in Kotekhi today is 14 часов 13 минут — from sunrise at 05:56 to Maghrib at 20:09. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов 10 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:09 and the morning Fajr at 04:19. For Kotekhi this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Kotekhi the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Kotekhi: Fajr — 04:19, Maghrib — 20:09 and Isha — 21:38. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Kotekhi 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:19: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:56: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:03: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:03: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:09: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:38: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Kotekhi
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.
The prayer schedule in Kotekhi 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 (04:19) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:09): 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 Kotekhi 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.
