Shirak prayer times overview
The Shirak page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
The Shirak prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Shirak geographic location is 40.8404°N, 43.9158°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. 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.
The daytime interval in Shirak today is 14 часов 7 минут — from sunrise at 06:06 to Maghrib at 20:13. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Shirak begins after Maghrib at 20:13 and lasts until Fajr at 04:32. Its duration is 8 часов 19 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Shirak the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Shirak prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:32 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:13 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:40 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Shirak 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 Shirak
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 Shirak 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 (04:32) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:13) 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.
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 Shirak 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.
