Shakhun'ya prayer times overview
The Shakhun'ya page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Shakhun'ya prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Shakhun'ya coordinates: 57.6760°N and 46.6117°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
Shakhun'ya 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 northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
Today in Shakhun'ya 16 часов passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 03:59, while the evening prayer begins at 19:59. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Shakhun'ya begins after Maghrib at 19:59 and lasts until Fajr at 01:51. Its duration is 5 часов 52 минуты. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Shakhun'ya the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Shakhun'ya: Fajr — 01:51, Maghrib — 19:59 and Isha — 21:59. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Shakhun'ya 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 — 01:51: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 03:59: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 11:59: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:21: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 19:59: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:59: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Shakhun'ya
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 Shakhun'ya 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 (01:51) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (19:59) 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 Shakhun'ya 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.
