Prayer Times in Astana Today
Times for Astana follow the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Russia. Calculation authorities differ on how far below the horizon the sun must sit for Fajr to begin and Isha to end, which is the main reason published times vary between sources. Kazakhstan conventionally follows this authority, and it can be changed from the controls on this page if your mosque follows another.
Astana lies at 51.2° north, high enough that in mid-summer the sun may never fall far enough below the horizon for an angle-based Isha to be computed. Where that happens the times here use the angle-based adjustment, one of the recognised approaches for high latitudes.
Asr in Astana is shown by the standard reckoning used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools, which marks its start when an object's shadow equals its own length. The Hanafi school uses twice that length, falling roughly an hour later depending on the season. Both are long-established positions; the juristic school can be switched on this page.
These times are computed for 51.1811°N, 71.4460°E in the Asia/Almaty timezone. Because the calculation is tied to coordinates rather than to a city boundary, mosques a few kilometres away may publish times a minute or two apart, and many add a small precautionary margin of their own.
