Tikhvin prayer times overview
For Tikhvin 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.
Local time is applied for Tikhvin: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Tikhvin coordinates: 59.6392°N and 33.5256°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local 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.
Today in Tikhvin 16 часов 22 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:40, while the evening prayer begins at 21:02. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 36 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:02 and the morning Fajr at 02:38. For Tikhvin this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Tikhvin there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Tikhvin differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
When preparing for prayer in Tikhvin, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:38), Maghrib (21:02) and Isha (22:57) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Tikhvin 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 02:38: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 04:40: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:52: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:16: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:02: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 22:57: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Tikhvin
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.
The prayer schedule in Tikhvin 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 (02:38) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:02): 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.
The location of Tikhvin at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
