Zhemchug prayer times overview
The Zhemchug prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time is applied for Zhemchug: the city's time zone is 5 часов ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Zhemchug geographic location is 51.6861°N, 102.4590°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Zhemchug today is 15 часов 7 минут — from sunrise at 05:42 to Maghrib at 20:49. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Zhemchug begins after Maghrib at 20:49 and lasts until Fajr at 03:28. Its duration is 6 часов 39 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Zhemchug the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
If you plan your day around the Zhemchug prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:28 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:49 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:51 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Zhemchug, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.

Questions about prayer times in Zhemchug
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 Zhemchug 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.
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 (20:49) 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 Zhemchug 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.
