Naftalan prayer times overview
The Naftalan page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Naftalan prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Naftalan coordinates: 40.5078°N and 46.8203°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
According to today's schedule for Naftalan, the sun rises at 05:54, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:02. 14 часов 8 минут passes between these events. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Naftalan 8 часов 19 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:02, while Fajr begins at 04:21. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Naftalan the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Naftalan prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:21 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:02 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:29 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Naftalan, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:21: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:54: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:59: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:57: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:02: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:29: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Naftalan
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.
We update the schedule in Naftalan 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (04:21) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:02): 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 Naftalan 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.
