Shorapani prayer times overview
The Shorapani 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 Shorapani: the city's time zone is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
For Shorapani the coordinates 42.0960°N and 43.0825°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr 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.
The daytime interval in Shorapani today is 14 часов 15 минут — from sunrise at 06:06 to Maghrib at 20:21. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Shorapani begins after Maghrib at 20:21 and lasts until Fajr at 04:29. Its duration is 8 часов 8 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Shorapani the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Shorapani, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:29), Maghrib (20:21) and Isha (21:51) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
Prayer times for Shorapani 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 Shorapani
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.
We update the schedule in Shorapani 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 (04:29) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:21) 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.
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 Shorapani 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.
