Kovdor prayer times overview
The Kovdor 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 Kovdor is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Kovdor coordinates: 67.5663°N and 30.4777°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
Kovdor prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
Today in Kovdor the sun rises at 03:44, while Maghrib begins at 22:22. Daylight lasts 18 часов 38 минут. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
The night interval in Kovdor begins after Maghrib at 22:22 and lasts until Fajr at 02:18. Its duration is 3 часа 56 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Kovdor, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
The high latitude of Kovdor affects the prayer schedule more strongly than in most cities of Russia. In summer and winter there may be peculiarities of the light regime here, so the Fajr and Isha times require especially careful checking.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Kovdor: Fajr — 02:18, Maghrib — 22:22 and Isha — 23:42. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Kovdor 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.

Questions about prayer times in Kovdor
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.
Prayer times in Kovdor 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 (02:18) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (22:22) 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 Kovdor 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.
