Yelshanka prayer times overview
The Yelshanka page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Yelshanka prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Yelshanka coordinates: 51.8139°N and 46.3997°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. 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 Yelshanka the sun rises at 05:24, while Maghrib begins at 20:35. Daylight lasts 15 часов 11 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Yelshanka the period from Maghrib (20:35) to Fajr (03:09) lasts 6 часов 34 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Yelshanka the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
If you plan your day around the Yelshanka prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:09 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:35 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:39 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Yelshanka, 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 Yelshanka
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.
The prayer schedule in Yelshanka 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, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (03:09) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:35) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
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 Yelshanka 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.
