Nikolayevskaya prayer times overview
The Nikolayevskaya 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 Nikolayevskaya 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.
Nikolayevskaya geographic location is 47.6139°N, 41.5023°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. 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.
The daytime interval in Nikolayevskaya today is 14 часов 43 минуты — from sunrise at 04:58 to Maghrib at 19:41. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Nikolayevskaya 7 часов 22 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 19:41, while Fajr begins at 03:03. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Nikolayevskaya the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Nikolayevskaya prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:03 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 19:41 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:26 the start of the night prayer.
The Nikolayevskaya 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 Nikolayevskaya
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.
We update the schedule in Nikolayevskaya 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 (03:03) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (19:41): 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 Nikolayevskaya 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.
