Sentelek prayer times overview
The Sentelek 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 in Sentelek is 4 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Sentelek coordinates: 51.2023°N and 83.7520°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
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. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Sentelek 15 часов 3 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:59, while the evening prayer begins at 21:02. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Sentelek 6 часов 46 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 21:02, while Fajr begins at 03:48. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Sentelek the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Sentelek: Fajr — 03:48, Maghrib — 21:02 and Isha — 23:01. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Sentelek, 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.

Questions about prayer times in Sentelek
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 Sentelek 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:48) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:02) 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.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Sentelek it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
