Taldykorgan Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Taldykorgan, Kazakhstan

Taldykorganprayer times are calculated based on the city's precise geographic coordinates (45.0156°N, 78.3739°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 Taldykorgan'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 Taldykorgan prayer time calendar for the full month is shown below — so you can plan ahead without checking daily.

How Taldykorgan's prayer times are worked out

Taldykorgan sits 4,378 km (2,721 miles) from the Kaaba in Mecca, so the Qibla from here is 246° 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 Taldykorgan. Measured with the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast here — from Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 18h 11m around June, while the shortest is roughly 10h 32m in December: a swing of 7h 39m across the year. That spread is set by Taldykorgan's latitude (45.02°N); cities nearer the equator barely vary, while far-northern ones swing by many hours.

Taldykorgan sits close to the meridian of its Asia/Almaty time zone, so the sun peaks within 5 minutes of clock noon and Dhuhr lands near midday — today at 11:54 AM. Dhuhr always tracks the sun's peak, not the clock. The nearest cities we also publish times for are Sarqant, Almaty, Karakol — close enough that their times differ from Taldykorgan's by only a few minutes.
