Uelen prayer times overview
For Uelen 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 Uelen prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 9 часов ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Uelen coordinates: 66.1597°N and 169.8098°W. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
Uelen prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
Today in Uelen 17 часов 52 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 02:28, while the evening prayer begins at 20:20. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
4 часа 30 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:20 and the morning Fajr at 00:50. For Uelen 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 Uelen, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
The high latitude of Uelen affects the prayer schedule more strongly than in most cities of Russia. In summer and winter there may be peculiarities of the light regime here, so the Fajr and Isha times require especially careful checking.
If you plan your day around the Uelen prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 00:50 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:20 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:52 the start of the night prayer.
The Uelen 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 — 00:50: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 02:28: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 11:25: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 16:59: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:20: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:52: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Uelen
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 Uelen 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 (00:50) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:20): 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.
In Uelen, due to the high geographic latitude, peculiar astronomical conditions arise. In summer the sun does not set deep below the horizon, the night is very short or bright, and in some periods true twilight may not occur at all. In winter, on the contrary, the day is extremely short. Under such conditions, the usual astronomical calculation of the Fajr and Isha times becomes difficult, so a special adjustment method recommended for high latitudes is applied.
