Yershov prayer times overview
The Yershov prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
The Yershov prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Yershov coordinates: 51.3560°N and 48.2727°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.
Yershov prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Yershov today is 15 часов 7 минут — from sunrise at 05:19 to Maghrib at 20:26. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Yershov begins after Maghrib at 20:26 and lasts until Fajr at 03:06. Its duration is 6 часов 40 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Yershov the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
When preparing for prayer in Yershov, it is convenient to check Fajr (03:06), Maghrib (20:26) and Isha (22:27) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Yershov 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 — 03:06: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:19: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:53: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:05: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:26: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 22:27: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Yershov
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 Yershov 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, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:06) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:26) 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.
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 Yershov 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.
