Okha prayer times overview
The Okha prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Okha prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 8 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Okha geographic location is 53.5949°N, 142.9528°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.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Okha the sun rises at 05:53, while Maghrib begins at 21:14. Daylight lasts 15 часов 21 minute. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Okha begins after Maghrib at 21:14 and lasts until Fajr at 03:35. Its duration is 6 часов 21 minute. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Okha the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
When preparing for prayer in Okha, it is convenient to check Fajr (03:35), Maghrib (21:14) and Isha (23:24) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Okha 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 03:35: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:53: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:34: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:48: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:14: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:24: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Okha
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
We update the schedule in Okha 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 (03:35) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:14): 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 Okha 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.
