Prayer Times in Kharkiv, Ukraine

Kharkiv, hour by hour

There is no such thing as a typical prayer day in Kharkiv — the times move too much across the year for that. Summer brings very early Fajr times and a late Isha; in December, Maghrib arrives while the afternoon still feels young.

Finding the qibla

Face south — roughly 173° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. The distance works out to about 3,192 kilometres, or 1,984 miles.

Clock time and solar time

The sun reaches its high point roughly 41 minutes before noon here. Hence Dhuhr at 11:19 am, with the rest of the afternoon following along behind it. It is not an error — timezones are drawn for administrative convenience, not astronomical accuracy.

Ramadan timings

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 4:29 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 4:16 pm. Around 11 hours and 47 minutes without food or water today. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

The last third of the night

Between Isha at 5:46 pm and Fajr at 4:29 am there are about 10 hours and 43 minutes. 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.

The calculation behind them

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. 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.
