Shamkhor prayer times overview
The Shamkhor page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time is applied for Shamkhor: the city's time zone is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Shamkhor coordinates: 40.8298°N and 46.0178°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
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 southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
The daytime interval in Shamkhor today is 14 часов 7 минут — from sunrise at 05:58 to Maghrib at 20:05. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Shamkhor the period from Maghrib (20:05) to Fajr (04:24) lasts 8 часов 19 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Shamkhor the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Shamkhor prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:24 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:05 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:32 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Shamkhor 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.

Questions about prayer times in Shamkhor
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.
The prayer schedule in Shamkhor 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, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (04:24) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:05) — 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 Shamkhor according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
