Tsalenjikha prayer times overview
For Tsalenjikha 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 Tsalenjikha 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.
Tsalenjikha coordinates: 42.6086°N and 42.0669°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.
The daytime interval in Tsalenjikha today is 14 часов 17 минут — from sunrise at 06:09 to Maghrib at 20:26. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов 4 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:26 and the morning Fajr at 04:30. For Tsalenjikha this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Tsalenjikha the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Tsalenjikha, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:30), Maghrib (20:26) and Isha (21:57) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Tsalenjikha, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 04:30: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:09: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:18: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:19: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:26: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:57: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Tsalenjikha
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 Tsalenjikha 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 (04:30) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:26): 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.
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 Tsalenjikha 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.
