Prayer Times in Rustov, Azerbaijan

Rustov prayer times explained

Rustov gets about 10 hours and 32 minutes of daylight today, and the five prayer times are spaced across it. Prayer times are anchored to the sun rather than the clock, so as that figure grows and shrinks across the year, every time below moves with it.

Lining up with the Kaaba

Face south-south-west — roughly 203° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. That puts the Kaaba roughly 2,353 km — 1,462 miles — from here.

Clock time and solar time

Solar noon in Rustov falls about 29 minutes after twelve o'clock. It explains the 12:29 pm Dhuhr — the timezone boundary is drawn some way from this city's own meridian. This catches people out regularly, but prayer follows the sun, and the clock is only the label we put on it.

The fasting day in Rustov

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 5:37 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 5:45 pm. Around 12 hours and 8 minutes without food or water today. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

Where these times come from

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

How the day runs in Rustov

It starts in the dark, with Fajr at 5:37 am. Sunrise at 7:13 am closes that window. Dhuhr follows at 12:29 pm once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 4:04 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 5:45 pm; Isha is the last, at 7:15 pm. That is some 10 hours and 32 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

The last third of the night

From Isha to Fajr is around 10 hours and 22 minutes at the moment. The final third of the night carries particular weight in the tradition, and it is measured from Isha to Fajr rather than by the clock.
