Shahumyan prayer times overview
The Shahumyan page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Shahumyan 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.
For Shahumyan the coordinates 39.9417°N and 44.5723°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
The daytime interval in Shahumyan today is 14 часов 3 минуты — from sunrise at 06:06 to Maghrib at 20:09. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов 25 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:09 and the morning Fajr at 04:34. For Shahumyan this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Shahumyan the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Shahumyan, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:34), Maghrib (20:09) and Isha (21:34) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Shahumyan
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 Shahumyan 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, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (04:34) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:09) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
It is not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Shahumyan according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
