Neftegorsk prayer times overview
The Neftegorsk page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
The Neftegorsk prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Neftegorsk coordinates: 52.8014°N and 51.1655°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.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Neftegorsk 15 часов 18 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:02, while the evening prayer begins at 20:20. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Neftegorsk begins after Maghrib at 20:20 and lasts until Fajr at 02:43. Its duration is 6 часов 23 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Neftegorsk the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
If you plan your day around the Neftegorsk prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:43 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:20 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:29 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Neftegorsk, 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.

Questions about prayer times in Neftegorsk
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.
The prayer schedule in Neftegorsk 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 (02:43) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:20): 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 Neftegorsk according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
