Prayer Times in Atyrau, Kazakhstan
Atyrauprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (47.1048°N, 51.8843°E) using the Muslim World League calculation method — the standard followed by most mosques in Kazakhstan. Times shown are for today's date and update automatically at midnight.
The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha — are calculated from the sun's position relative to Atyrau's latitude and longitude. As the sun's declination changes throughout the year, prayer times shift by several minutes each day. This is why a Atyrau prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.
How Atyrau's prayer times are worked out
Atyrau sits 3,055 km (1,898 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 205° from true north — you face southwest to pray. Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun drops below the horizon, and Kazakhstan follows the Muslim World League method set by the Muslim World League: Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha when it reaches 17°. A city that used ISNA's 15° instead would get a noticeably different Fajr — which is why the method, not just the coordinates, decides the answer.
Day length is what really moves the timetable in Atyrau. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 18h 54m around June, while the shortest is roughly 10h 21m in December: a swing of 8h 33m across the year. That spread is set by Atyrau's latitude (47.10°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.
One local quirk worth knowing: Dhuhr in Atyrau does not fall at 12:00. Because the city sits well west within its Asia/Atyrau time zone, the sun peaks about 101 minutes after clock noon, and Dhuhr follows the sun rather than the clock — today it is at 1:40 PM. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Qulsary, Aktau, Zhanaozen — close enough that their times differ from Atyrau's by only a few minutes.
Two Asr times are in use in Kazakhstan
Kazakh practice is traditionally Hanafi — the Spiritual Administration's tables reflect it — so this page shows the Hanafi Asr alongside the standard time. The time shown above for Atyrau is the standard reckoning — 5:48 PM. The Hanafi time today is 6:59 PM. Follow whichever your mosque announces; you can make Hanafi the default in the settings above.
One clock for a continent-sized country
Kazakhstan made a remarkable change on 1 March 2024: after almost a century split across two time zones, the entire country moved to a single zone, UTC+5, with no daylight saving. For prayer times the consequence is real — Kazakhstan spans some 40 degrees of longitude, so solar noon in the far east now falls hours from the far west on the same clock; a per-city calculation like this page's is the only way to stay accurate. The Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan (SAMK), established in 1990, publishes official tables by its own method; this page uses the Muslim World League parameters (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°), so small differences from the official table are normal.
From Turkistan's mausoleum to Astana's domes
Kazakhstan's holiest site is the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi in Turkistan — built 1389-1405 on Timur's order for the twelfth-century Sufi master whose poetry carried Islam across the steppe; it became the country's first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. The capital tells the modern chapter: the Hazrat Sultan Mosque (2012) was among Central Asia's largest until the Astana Grand Mosque opened in 2022 and took the regional title outright. Kazakh Islam is traditionally Hanafi, and mosques announce the later, second-shadow Asr — this page shows both reckonings.
