Shilka prayer times overview
For Shilka 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.
Shilka prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 6 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Shilka geographic location is 51.8514°N, 116.0285°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Shilka 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 the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Shilka the sun rises at 05:47, while Maghrib begins at 20:56. Daylight lasts 15 часов 9 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Shilka the period from Maghrib (20:56) to Fajr (03:32) lasts 6 часов 36 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Shilka the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Shilka: Fajr — 03:32, Maghrib — 20:56 and Isha — 22:58. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Shilka 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 Shilka
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 Shilka 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 (03:32) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:56) — 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 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 Shilka 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.
