Prayer Times in Türkmenbaşy, Turkmenistan
Prayer times in Türkmenbaşy are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (40.02°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Turkmenistan. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Türkmenbaşy's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Turkmenistan. They are drawn from Türkmenbaşy's own coordinates (40.0222°N, 52.9552°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Türkmenbaşy's prayer times are worked out
From Türkmenbaşy, the Qibla is 215° from true north. Face southwest to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,413 km (1,499 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Türkmenbaşy's own coordinates (40.02°N, 52.96°E), not a national average. That is why Türkmenbaşy's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Türkmenbaşy timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Türkmenbaşy lies well west inside its Ashgabat time zone. So the sun peaks about 97 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:13 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 05m near June down to 10h 57m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Türkmenbaşy come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Balkanabat, Qaraçuxur and Bakıxanov. Each is only a few minutes off Türkmenbaşy's clock.

Two Asr times are in use in Turkmenistan
Turkmen Islam is Sunni of the Hanafi school, so mosques traditionally announce the later second-shadow Asr. This page shows both that time and the standard one. The time shown above for Türkmenbaşy is the standard reckoning — 4:09 PM. The Hanafi time today is 4:53 PM. Follow whichever your mosque announces; you can make Hanafi the default in the settings above.
Prayer times in Turkmenistan
Turkmenistan is overwhelmingly Muslim: Sunni of the Hanafi school, blended with the country's Sufi and tribal heritage. Religious life is under tight state supervision. No public national timetable is issued. This page therefore applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to the city's own coordinates, on Turkmenistan's year-round UTC+5 clock. Because the Hanafi school predominates, many mosques call Asr on the second-shadow reckoning, roughly 75 minutes after the standard time. This page shows both, so you can follow whichever your mosque keeps.
The white-marble mosque of Kipchak
The Türkmenbaşy Ruhy Mosque in Kipchak, just outside Ashgabat, is the largest mosque in Central Asia. It is a vast white-marble building, completed in 2004 and holding around 10,000 worshippers. A family mausoleum of former president Saparmurat Niyazov stands beside it. Ashgabat itself is famous for its expanses of white marble, and the mosque is the country's foremost Islamic landmark.
