Vazhiny prayer times overview
For Vazhiny 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.
Local time is applied for Vazhiny: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
For Vazhiny the coordinates 60.9644°N and 34.0222°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
The daytime interval in Vazhiny today is 16 часов 38 минут — from sunrise at 04:30 to Maghrib at 21:08. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Vazhiny begins after Maghrib at 21:08 and lasts until Fajr at 02:32. Its duration is 5 часов 24 минуты. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Vazhiny there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
In Vazhiny 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.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Vazhiny: Fajr — 02:32, Maghrib — 21:08 and Isha — 22:59. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Vazhiny 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 — 02:32: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 04:30: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:50: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:16: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:08: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 22:59: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Vazhiny
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
Prayer times in Vazhiny 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:32) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:08): 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 Vazhiny 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.
