Ruskeala prayer times overview
The Ruskeala prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time is applied for Ruskeala: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Ruskeala geographic location is 61.9319°N, 30.5890°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.
Ruskeala 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.
Today in Ruskeala the sun rises at 04:38, while Maghrib begins at 21:28. Daylight lasts 16 часов 50 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 15 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:28 and the morning Fajr at 02:43. For Ruskeala this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Ruskeala there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
Bright summer nights are typical for Ruskeala. During this period Isha may begin late, while Fajr may be early, so it is advisable to check the schedule daily.
When preparing for prayer in Ruskeala, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:43), Maghrib (21:28) and Isha (23:16) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Ruskeala 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 — 02:43: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 04:38: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:04: the time of the midday prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Ruskeala
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
The prayer schedule in Ruskeala is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:43) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:28): 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.
The location of Ruskeala at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
