Zar prayer times overview
The Zar page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time in Zar is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Zar geographic location is 40.2585°N, 44.7333°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Zar 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 southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
The daytime interval in Zar today is 14 часов 5 минут — from sunrise at 06:04 to Maghrib at 20:09. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
8 часов 23 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:09 and the morning Fajr at 04:32. For Zar this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Zar the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Zar: Fajr — 04:32, Maghrib — 20:09 and Isha — 21:35. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Zar are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Zar
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 Zar 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 (04:32) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:09): 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.
It is not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Zar according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
