Osel'ki prayer times overview
The Osel'ki page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time in Osel'ki is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Osel'ki geographic location is 60.2050°N, 30.4967°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Osel'ki prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
According to today's schedule for Osel'ki, the sun rises at 04:49, while the Maghrib time begins at 21:17. 16 часов 28 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Osel'ki 5 часов 32 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 21:17, while Fajr begins at 02:49. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Osel'ki there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
Bright summer nights are typical for Osel'ki. 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 Osel'ki prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:49 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:17 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:10 the start of the night prayer.
The Osel'ki 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 Osel'ki
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 Osel'ki 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 (02:49) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:17): 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 Osel'ki 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.
