Luza prayer times overview
For Luza it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
Luza 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.
Luza geographic location is 60.6263°N, 47.2644°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Luza prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Luza 16 часов 34 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 03:39, while the evening prayer begins at 20:13. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Luza 5 часов 27 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:13, while Fajr begins at 01:40. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Luza there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Luza differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Luza: Fajr — 01:40, Maghrib — 20:13 and Isha — 22:05. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Luza, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.

Questions about prayer times in Luza
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 Luza 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 (01:40) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:13) 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.
The location of Luza at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
