Yemtsa prayer times overview
For Yemtsa 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 Yemtsa: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Yemtsa coordinates: 63.0734°N and 40.3329°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Yemtsa prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
The daytime interval in Yemtsa today is 17 часов 8 минут — from sunrise at 03:50 to Maghrib at 20:58. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Yemtsa 5 часов 2 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:58, while Fajr begins at 02:00. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Yemtsa there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
Bright summer nights are typical for Yemtsa. During this period Isha may begin late, while Fajr may be early, so it is advisable to check the schedule daily.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Yemtsa: Fajr — 02:00, Maghrib — 20:58 and Isha — 22:41. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Yemtsa 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 — 02:00: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 03:50: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:25: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:55: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:58: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.

Questions about prayer times in Yemtsa
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.
We update the schedule in Yemtsa 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.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (02:00) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:58) — 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.
Because Yemtsa 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.
