Kreva prayer times overview
The Kreva prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time in Kreva 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.
Kreva coordinates: 54.3118°N and 26.2916°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.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Kreva 15 часов 30 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:35, while the evening prayer begins at 21:05. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Kreva the period from Maghrib (21:05) to Fajr (03:19) lasts 6 часов 14 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Kreva the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Kreva: Fajr — 03:19, Maghrib — 21:05 and Isha — 23:13. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Kreva 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 — 03:19: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:35: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:21: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:37: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:05: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:13: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Kreva
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 Kreva 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:19) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:05): 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 Kreva 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.
