Sosnogorsk prayer times overview
The Sosnogorsk prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time is applied for Sosnogorsk: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
For Sosnogorsk the coordinates 63.5967°N and 53.8918°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
According to today's schedule for Sosnogorsk, the sun rises at 02:51, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:08. 17 часов 17 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Sosnogorsk the period from Maghrib (20:08) to Fajr (01:04) lasts 4 часа 56 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Sosnogorsk there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
Bright summer nights are typical for Sosnogorsk. During this period Isha may begin late, while Fajr may be early, so it is advisable to check the schedule daily.
If you plan your day around the Sosnogorsk prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 01:04 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:08 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:49 the start of the night prayer.
The Sosnogorsk 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.

Questions about prayer times in Sosnogorsk
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 Sosnogorsk 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 (01:04) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:08): 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.
Because Sosnogorsk is located far from the equator, white nights or conditions close to them are observed here in summer, and a very short day in winter. Under such a position of the sun, the classical calculation of Fajr and Isha no longer gives a correct result: twilight may last all night. So that believers can perform the prayer with confidence, the high-latitude adjustment method recommended by Islamic calculation centres is applied.
