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 geographic location is 63.5690°N, 53.6914°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. 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.
The daytime interval in Ukhta today is 17 часов 16 минут — from sunrise at 02:52 to Maghrib at 20:08. 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.
Bright summer nights are typical for Ukhta. During this period Isha may begin late, while Fajr may be early, so it is advisable to check the schedule daily.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Ukhta: Fajr — 01:05, Maghrib — 20:08 and Isha — 21:49. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
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 — 02:52: 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.
The prayer schedule in Ukhta 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (01:05) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:08) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
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.
