Motal' prayer times overview
The Motal' 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 Motal' is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Motal' coordinates: 52.3138°N and 25.6072°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.
The daytime interval in Motal' today is 15 часов 10 минут — from sunrise at 05:48 to Maghrib at 20:58. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Motal' 6 часов 32 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:58, while Fajr begins at 03:30. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Motal' the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
If you plan your day around the Motal' prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:30 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:58 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:03 the start of the night prayer.
The Motal' 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 — 03:30: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.

- Asr — 18:36: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:58: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.

Questions about prayer times in Motal'
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.
The prayer schedule in Motal' 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:30) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:58): 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.
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 Motal' 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.
