Lokot' prayer times overview
The Lokot' prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
The Lokot' prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is Same as Moscow time (MSK). Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Lokot' the coordinates 52.5747°N and 34.5767°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr 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 Lokot' 15 часов 16 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:09, while the evening prayer begins at 20:25. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Lokot' the period from Maghrib (20:25) to Fajr (02:49) lasts 6 часов 24 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Lokot' the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Lokot': Fajr — 02:49, Maghrib — 20:25 and Isha — 22:33. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Lokot' 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 Lokot'
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 Lokot' 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 (02:49) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:25): 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.
It is not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Lokot' according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
