Machara prayer times overview
The Machara page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Machara prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Machara geographic location is 42.9444°N, 41.0894°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Machara 14 часов 17 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:13, while the evening prayer begins at 20:30. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Machara 8 часов 4 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:30, while Fajr begins at 04:34. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Machara the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Machara: Fajr — 04:34, Maghrib — 20:30 and Isha — 22:01. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Machara 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 — 04:34: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:13: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:21: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:22: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:30: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 22:01: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Machara
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.
The prayer schedule in Machara 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 (04:34) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:30): 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 better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Machara it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
