Prayer Times in Ağdam, Azerbaijan

Ağdam prayer times explained

Ağdam gets about 10 hours and 30 minutes of daylight today, and the five prayer times are spaced across it. None of the five are fixed to the clock — they follow the sun, and the sun keeps different hours in every month.

Season by season in Ağdam

Ağdam sees a large seasonal spread — very early summer Fajr times, a very late Isha, then a tightly packed winter day. The month view below is the reliable way to keep track.

The last third of the night

Ağdam gets roughly 10 hours and 25 minutes of night between the last prayer and the first. If you pray tahajjud, the final third of that stretch is the one to aim for; counting backwards from Fajr is the easier way to locate it.

Lining up with the Kaaba

Turn south-south-west, about 196°, for the qibla. Makkah is around 2,233 kilometres (1,387 miles) away in a straight line.

The fasting day in Ağdam

Stop eating by 5:51 am; break the fast at 5:56 pm. That is about 12 hours and 5 minutes on today's times. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

A note on the method used

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.

Clock time and solar time

True midday in Ağdam arrives some 41 minutes after what the clock reads. That is why Dhuhr sits at 12:41 pm rather than just past midday, and it carries through to Asr, Maghrib and Isha as well. Nothing is wrong with the calculation; timezones are political lines, and the sun does not consult them.

A walk through today's times

Everything begins with Fajr, 5:51 am today. Sunrise at 7:26 am closes that window. Next is Dhuhr at 12:41 pm, then Asr in the afternoon at 4:15 pm. Maghrib is prayed at 5:56 pm as the light goes, then Isha at 7:26 pm. Sunrise to sunset, today runs about 10 hours and 30 minutes.
