Shakhta prayer times overview
For Shakhta it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
Shakhta prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Shakhta the coordinates 59.0905°N and 57.6575°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Shakhta 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 Shakhta, the sun rises at 05:07, while the Maghrib time begins at 21:22. 16 часов 15 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 41 minute passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:22 and the morning Fajr at 03:03. For Shakhta 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 Shakhta there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
Bright summer nights are typical for Shakhta. During this period Isha may begin late, while Fajr may be early, so it is advisable to check the schedule daily.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Shakhta: Fajr — 03:03, Maghrib — 21:22 and Isha — 23:19. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Shakhta 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 — 03:03: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:07: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:15: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:39: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:22: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:19: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Shakhta
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.
We update the schedule in Shakhta 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 (03:03) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:22) 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.
In Shakhta, due to the high geographic latitude, peculiar astronomical conditions arise. In summer the sun does not set deep below the horizon, the night is very short or bright, and in some periods true twilight may not occur at all. In winter, on the contrary, the day is extremely short. Under such conditions, the usual astronomical calculation of the Fajr and Isha times becomes difficult, so a special adjustment method recommended for high latitudes is applied.
