How these times are calculated
Prayer times in Shymkent are computed from the city's exact coordinates (42.3099°, 69.6004°) using astronomical formulas for the sun's position, following the Muslim World League convention — the standard used in Kazakhstan. Used in most of Europe, the Far East and parts of the US.
- Fajr begins when the sun is 18° below the horizon (Dawn prayer, before sunrise).
- Dhuhr starts a minute after solar noon, when the sun passes its highest point.
- Asr is calculated with the standard (shadow equal to object length) convention.
- Maghrib begins at sunset.
- Isha begins when the sun is 17° below the horizon.
Prayer times are calculated astronomically. Always confirm with your local mosque, which may apply an extra minute or two as a precaution.
