Mekan prayer times overview
The Mekan prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Mekan prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Mekan the coordinates 38.2734°N and 64.5791°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Mekan prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
According to today's schedule for Mekan, the sun rises at 05:49, while the Maghrib time begins at 19:45. 13 часов 56 минут passes between these events. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Mekan 8 часов 35 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 19:45, while Fajr begins at 04:20. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Mekan the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Mekan, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:20), Maghrib (19:45) and Isha (21:08) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Mekan 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 — 04:20: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:49: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:48: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:43: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 19:45: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:08: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Mekan
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 Mekan 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 (04:20) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (19:45) 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.
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 Mekan 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.
