Zapolyarnyy prayer times overview
For Zapolyarnyy 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.
Zapolyarnyy 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.
Zapolyarnyy coordinates: 69.4260°N and 30.8110°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local 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 Zapolyarnyy 19 часов 36 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 03:13, while the evening prayer begins at 22:49. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
3 часа 14 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 22:49 and the morning Fajr at 02:03. For Zapolyarnyy 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 Zapolyarnyy, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
The high latitude of Zapolyarnyy affects the prayer schedule more strongly than in most cities of Russia. In summer and winter there may be peculiarities of the light regime here, so the Fajr and Isha times require especially careful checking.
When preparing for prayer in Zapolyarnyy, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:03), Maghrib (22:49) and Isha (23:55) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Zapolyarnyy 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 — 02:03: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 03:13: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:03: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:49: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 22:49: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:55: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Zapolyarnyy
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
Prayer times in Zapolyarnyy are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:03) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (22:49): 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.
Because Zapolyarnyy 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.
