Novikovo prayer times overview
For Novikovo 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 in Novikovo is 4 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Novikovo coordinates: 52.6223°N and 85.9639°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.
Novikovo prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Novikovo 15 часов 17 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:43, while the evening prayer begins at 21:00. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Novikovo begins after Maghrib at 21:00 and lasts until Fajr at 03:24. Its duration is 6 часов 24 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Novikovo the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Novikovo: Fajr — 03:24, Maghrib — 21:00 and Isha — 23:09. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Novikovo 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 Novikovo
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.
Prayer times in Novikovo 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:24) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:00): 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 better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Novikovo it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
