Markha prayer times overview
For Markha 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.
Markha prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 6 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Markha geographic location is 62.1145°N, 129.7440°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.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
According to today's schedule for Markha, the sun rises at 03:59, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:54. 16 часов 55 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 11 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:54 and the morning Fajr at 02:05. For Markha this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Markha there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
In Markha there may be white nights at the beginning of summer: twilight does not always pass into full darkness. For this reason the interval between Maghrib, Isha and Fajr shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Markha: Fajr — 02:05, Maghrib — 20:54 and Isha — 22:40. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Markha 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 — 02:05: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 03:59: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:27: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:56: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:54: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 22:40: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Markha
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
We update the schedule in Markha daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:05) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:54) 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 Markha 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.
