Questions about prayer times in Melikgyugh
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.
We update the schedule in Melikgyugh 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 (04:31) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:11) 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 not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Melikgyugh according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
