Vorkuta prayer times overview
The Vorkuta page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Vorkuta prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Vorkuta the coordinates 67.4992°N and 64.0578°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
Today in Vorkuta the sun rises at 01:30, while Maghrib begins at 20:07. Daylight lasts 18 часов 37 минут. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
3 часа 57 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:07 and the morning Fajr at 00:04. For Vorkuta 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 Vorkuta, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
For Vorkuta the high-latitude adjustment is important: during a very long day or a short night, the usual astronomical calculation may need correction.
If you plan your day around the Vorkuta prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 00:04 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:07 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:28 the start of the night prayer.
The Vorkuta 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 — 00:04: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 01:30: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 10:50: the time of the midday prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Vorkuta
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 Vorkuta 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 (00:04) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:07) 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.
The location of Vorkuta at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
