Zhitikara prayer times overview
For Zhitikara 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.
Zhitikara prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Zhitikara coordinates: 52.1902°N and 61.1989°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.
Zhitikara 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 Zhitikara today is 12 часов 1 minute — from sunrise at 06:46 to Maghrib at 18:47. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
10 часов 18 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 18:47 and the morning Fajr at 05:05. For Zhitikara this is an important reference for planning night prayers. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In the autumn months in Zhitikara daylight shortens, so the difference between the summer and current Maghrib times becomes noticeable.
If you plan your day around the Zhitikara prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 05:05 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 18:47 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 20:21 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Zhitikara, 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 Zhitikara
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.
Prayer times in Zhitikara 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, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (05:05) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (18:47) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
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 Zhitikara 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.
