Novaya Lyalya prayer times overview
For Novaya Lyalya 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.
Novaya Lyalya prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Novaya Lyalya the coordinates 59.0523°N and 60.5932°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Novaya Lyalya 16 часов 16 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:55, while the evening prayer begins at 21:11. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Novaya Lyalya the period from Maghrib (21:11) to Fajr (02:51) lasts 5 часов 40 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Novaya Lyalya there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Novaya Lyalya differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
When preparing for prayer in Novaya Lyalya, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:51), Maghrib (21:11) and Isha (23:07) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Novaya Lyalya 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 Novaya Lyalya
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.
Prayer times in Novaya Lyalya are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:51) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:11) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
The location of Novaya Lyalya at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
