Zel'va prayer times overview
The Zel'va 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 Zel'va prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is Same as Moscow time (MSK). Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Zel'va the coordinates 53.1493°N and 24.8120°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr 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.
The daytime interval in Zel'va today is 15 часов 17 минут — from sunrise at 05:48 to Maghrib at 21:05. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Zel'va begins after Maghrib at 21:05 and lasts until Fajr at 03:28. Its duration is 6 часов 23 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Zel'va the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
When preparing for prayer in Zel'va, it is convenient to check Fajr (03:28), Maghrib (21:05) and Isha (23:15) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Zel'va 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 — 03:28: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 05:48: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:27: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:40: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:05: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:15: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Zel'va
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 Zel'va 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, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (03:28) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:05) 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.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Zel'va it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
