Merdzavan prayer times overview
The Merdzavan prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time in Merdzavan is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
For Merdzavan the coordinates 40.1814°N and 44.4003°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.
Merdzavan 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.
Today in Merdzavan the sun rises at 06:06, while Maghrib begins at 20:10. Daylight lasts 14 часов 4 минуты. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Merdzavan 8 часов 23 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:10, while Fajr begins at 04:33. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Merdzavan the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Merdzavan, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:33), Maghrib (20:10) and Isha (21:36) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Merdzavan 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.

Questions about prayer times in Merdzavan
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.
Prayer times in Merdzavan 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (04:33) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:10): 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 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 Merdzavan according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
