Shelekhov prayer times overview
For Shelekhov 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.
Shelekhov prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 5 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Shelekhov coordinates: 52.2159°N and 104.0993°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.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Shelekhov today is 15 часов 14 минут — from sunrise at 05:32 to Maghrib at 20:46. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
6 часов 27 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:46 and the morning Fajr at 03:13. For Shelekhov this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Shelekhov the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Shelekhov: Fajr — 03:13, Maghrib — 20:46 and Isha — 22:52. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Shelekhov 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 — 03:13: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:32: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:10: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:23: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:46: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 22:52: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Shelekhov
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.
Prayer times in Shelekhov are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:13) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:46): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.
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 Shelekhov 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.
