Vazashen prayer times overview
The Vazashen 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 Vazashen: the city's time zone is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Vazashen geographic location is 40.9962°N, 45.2802°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Vazashen prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Vazashen the sun rises at 06:00, while Maghrib begins at 20:10. Daylight lasts 14 часов 10 минут. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов 15 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:10 and the morning Fajr at 04:25. For Vazashen 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 Vazashen the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Vazashen: Fajr — 04:25, Maghrib — 20:10 and Isha — 21:37. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Vazashen, 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.

Questions about prayer times in Vazashen
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
Prayer times in Vazashen are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (04:25) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:10) 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.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Vazashen it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
