Novokuznetsk prayer times overview
The Novokuznetsk page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time is applied for Novokuznetsk: the city's time zone is 4 часа ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Novokuznetsk geographic location is 53.7868°N, 87.1551°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Novokuznetsk the sun rises at 05:34, while Maghrib begins at 21:00. Daylight lasts 15 часов 26 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Novokuznetsk begins after Maghrib at 21:00 and lasts until Fajr at 03:17. Its duration is 6 часов 17 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Novokuznetsk the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
If you plan your day around the Novokuznetsk prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:17 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:00 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:08 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Novokuznetsk, 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 Novokuznetsk
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 Novokuznetsk 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 (03:17) 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.
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 Novokuznetsk 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.
