Zima prayer times overview
The Zima page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
The Zima prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 5 часов ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Zima the coordinates 53.9202°N and 102.0442°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.
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.
Today in Zima the sun rises at 07:02, while Maghrib begins at 19:04. Daylight lasts 12 часов 2 минуты. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Zima 10 часов 13 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 19:04, while Fajr begins at 05:17. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In autumn in Zima the schedule shifts noticeably: the day shortens, while the evening prayer time begins earlier.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Zima: Fajr — 05:17, Maghrib — 19:04 and Isha — 20:42. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Zima, 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 Zima
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 Zima 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 (05:17) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (19:04) — 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.
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 Zima 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.
