Nigavan prayer times overview
For Nigavan it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
Local time is applied for Nigavan: the city's time zone is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Nigavan coordinates: 40.6163°N and 44.3012°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.
Today in Nigavan the sun rises at 06:05, while Maghrib begins at 20:11. Daylight lasts 14 часов 6 минут. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов 21 minute passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:11 and the morning Fajr at 04:32. For Nigavan this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Nigavan the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Nigavan, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:32), Maghrib (20:11) and Isha (21:38) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
Prayer times for Nigavan are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:32: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:05: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:09: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:07: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:11: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:38: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Nigavan
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 Nigavan 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 (04:32) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:11): 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 Nigavan 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.
