Sanahin prayer times overview
The Sanahin page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Sanahin prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Sanahin geographic location is 41.0884°N, 44.6668°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Sanahin prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
The daytime interval in Sanahin today is 14 часов 10 минут — from sunrise at 06:02 to Maghrib at 20:12. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Sanahin 8 часов 15 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:12, while Fajr begins at 04:27. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Sanahin the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Sanahin, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:27), Maghrib (20:12) and Isha (21:40) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
Prayer times for Sanahin are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:27: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:02: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:07: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:07: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:12: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.

Questions about prayer times in Sanahin
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.
The prayer schedule in Sanahin 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (04:27) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:12) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
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 Sanahin 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.
