Ukhta prayer times overview
The Ukhta 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 is applied for Ukhta: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Ukhta coordinates: 63.5604°N and 53.6850°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.
Ukhta prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Ukhta the sun rises at 02:53, while Maghrib begins at 20:08. Daylight lasts 17 часов 15 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Ukhta begins after Maghrib at 20:08 and lasts until Fajr at 01:05. Its duration is 4 часа 57 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Ukhta there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
In Ukhta there may be white nights at the beginning of summer: twilight does not always pass into full darkness. For this reason the interval between Maghrib, Isha and Fajr shortens.
When preparing for prayer in Ukhta, it is convenient to check Fajr (01:05), Maghrib (20:08) and Isha (21:49) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Ukhta 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 — 01:05: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 02:53: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 11:31: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:03: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:08: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:49: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Ukhta
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 Ukhta 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 (01:05) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:08): 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.
Because Ukhta is located far from the equator, white nights or conditions close to them are observed here in summer, and a very short day in winter. Under such a position of the sun, the classical calculation of Fajr and Isha no longer gives a correct result: twilight may last all night. So that believers can perform the prayer with confidence, the high-latitude adjustment method recommended by Islamic calculation centres is applied.
