Yasnaya Polyana prayer times overview
For Yasnaya Polyana 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 Yasnaya Polyana: the city's time zone is 1 hour behind Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Yasnaya Polyana geographic location is 54.5686°N, 22.4461°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Yasnaya Polyana 15 часов 32 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:50, while the evening prayer begins at 20:22. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
6 часов 12 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:22 and the morning Fajr at 02:34. For Yasnaya Polyana this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Yasnaya Polyana the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Yasnaya Polyana: Fajr — 02:34, Maghrib — 20:22 and Isha — 22:29. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Yasnaya Polyana 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 — 02:34: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 04:50: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:36: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:53: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:22: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 22:29: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Yasnaya Polyana
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 Yasnaya Polyana 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 (02:34) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:22): 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.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Yasnaya Polyana it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
