Why Fajr and Isha need an estimation rule here
At this latitude the sun does not sink a full 18° below the horizon around midsummer, so true night — and with it the astronomical basis for Fajr and Isha — does not occur for several weeks. We apply the Middle of the Night rule during that period, splitting the interval between sunset and sunrise. Your local mosque in Sharkan may use a different convention; where they differ, follow the mosque.

Prayer times in Sharkan — common questions
What time is Fajr in Sharkan today?
Fajr in Sharkan begins at 12:29 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.
Which direction is the Qibla from Sharkan?
From Sharkan, the Qibla is 201.9° from true north — roughly SSW. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.
Which calculation method is used for Sharkan?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Russia. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.
How far is Sharkan from Makkah?
Sharkan lies approximately 4150 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
How much does daylight change through the year in Sharkan?
Day length in Sharkan ranges from about 6.6 hours at midwinter to 18 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 11.4 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
