Sumgait prayer times overview
The Sumgait 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 in Sumgait is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Sumgait coordinates: 40.5897°N and 49.6686°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local 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.
According to today's schedule for Sumgait, the sun rises at 05:43, while the Maghrib time begins at 19:51. 14 часов 8 минут passes between these events. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Sumgait begins after Maghrib at 19:51 and lasts until Fajr at 04:09. Its duration is 8 часов 18 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Sumgait the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Sumgait: Fajr — 04:09, Maghrib — 19:51 and Isha — 21:18. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Sumgait 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 Sumgait
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.
The prayer schedule in Sumgait 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (04:09) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (19:51): 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.
It is not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Sumgait according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
