Olyokminsk prayer times overview
The Olyokminsk prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Olyokminsk prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 6 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Olyokminsk coordinates: 60.3743°N and 120.4203°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
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. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Olyokminsk 16 часов 31 minute passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:48, while the evening prayer begins at 21:19. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Olyokminsk the period from Maghrib (21:19) to Fajr (02:48) lasts 5 часов 29 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Olyokminsk there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
Bright summer nights are typical for Olyokminsk. During this period Isha may begin late, while Fajr may be early, so it is advisable to check the schedule daily.
If you plan your day around the Olyokminsk prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:48 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:19 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:11 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Olyokminsk, 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 02:48: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.

- Asr — 18:30: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:19: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.

Questions about prayer times in Olyokminsk
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 Olyokminsk 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 (02:48) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:19): 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.
Because Olyokminsk is located far from the equator, white nights or conditions close to them are observed here in summer, and a very short day in winter. Under such a position of the sun, the classical calculation of Fajr and Isha no longer gives a correct result: twilight may last all night. So that believers can perform the prayer with confidence, the high-latitude adjustment method recommended by Islamic calculation centres is applied.
