Markova prayer times overview
The Markova prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Markova prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 5 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Markova coordinates: 52.2067°N and 104.2177°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.
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 the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Markova 15 часов 14 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:32, while the evening prayer begins at 20:46. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Markova 6 часов 27 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:46, while Fajr begins at 03:13. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Markova the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
If you plan your day around the Markova prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:13 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:46 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:52 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Markova are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 03:13: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.

Questions about prayer times in Markova
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
The prayer schedule in Markova 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:13) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:46) 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.
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 Markova 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.
