Altay Prayer Times
Altay is located in Bayan-Ölgii, Mongolia (48.2936°, 89.5149°). Prayer times for Altay are calculated using the Muslim World League calculation method, which is the standard for this region. This method determines the exact angles of the sun below the horizon to calculate Fajr and Isha times, while Dhuhr, Asr, and Maghrib are derived from the sun's zenith and position.
Prayer times in Altay shift by 1–2 minutes every day throughout the year. This natural variation happens because Earth's orbit around the sun is elliptical, not circular — meaning the sun's apparent speed changes slightly with the seasons. During summer months, days are longer and prayer times are more spread out; in winter they are compressed. For this reason, it is important to check the times daily rather than relying on a fixed schedule.
The five daily prayers — Fajr at dawn, Dhuhr at midday, Asr in the afternoon, Maghrib at sunset, and Isha at night — are the foundation of a Muslim's day. During Ramadan, Fajr time also marks the end of Sehri (the pre-dawn meal) and Maghrib marks Iftar (breaking the fast). Bookmark this page for always-accurate, daily-updated prayer times for Altay.
