Zorakan prayer times overview
The Zorakan 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 Zorakan 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.
Zorakan coordinates: 41.2209°N and 44.9360°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Zorakan the sun rises at 06:00, while Maghrib begins at 20:11. Daylight lasts 14 часов 11 минут. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
The night interval in Zorakan begins after Maghrib at 20:11 and lasts until Fajr at 04:25. Its duration is 8 часов 14 минут. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Zorakan the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
When preparing for prayer in Zorakan, it is convenient to check Fajr (04:25), Maghrib (20:11) and Isha (21:39) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Zorakan 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 — 04:25: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 06:00: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:06: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:06: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:11: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:39: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Zorakan
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 Zorakan 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 (04:25) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:11): 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.
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 Zorakan 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.
