Shenik prayer times overview
The Shenik page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time in Shenik is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Shenik coordinates: 40.2130°N and 43.7703°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.
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.
Today in Shenik the sun rises at 06:07, while Maghrib begins at 20:14. Daylight lasts 14 часов 7 минут. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Shenik 8 часов 20 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:14, while Fajr begins at 04:34. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Shenik the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Shenik, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:34), Maghrib (20:14) and Isha (21:40) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Shenik, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:34: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.

Questions about prayer times in Shenik
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
We update the schedule in Shenik 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (04:34) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:14): 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.
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 Shenik 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.
