Stepanavan prayer times overview
For Stepanavan 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.
The Stepanavan 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.
Stepanavan geographic location is 41.0100°N, 44.3853°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.
Stepanavan 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 southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
The daytime interval in Stepanavan today is 14 часов 10 минут — from sunrise at 06:03 to Maghrib at 20:13. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Stepanavan the period from Maghrib (20:13) to Fajr (04:28) lasts 8 часов 15 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Stepanavan the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Stepanavan, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:28), Maghrib (20:13) and Isha (21:41) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Stepanavan 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 Stepanavan
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 Stepanavan 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 (04:28) 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.
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 Stepanavan 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.
