About Bishkek
Bishkek is the capital and largest city of Kyrgyzstan, sitting at the foot of the Tian Shan mountains at an elevation of about 750 metres, not far from the border with Kazakhstan. Known as Pishpek before 1926 and as Frunze from 1926 to 1991, it also serves as the administrative seat of the surrounding Chüy Region. This page lists today's Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha times for the city's Muslim community.
Bishkek is the capital and most populous city of Kyrgyzstan, with a population reported at around 1.2 million as of 2024. It lies in the north of the country on the plains below the Tian Shan range, near the border with neighbouring Kazakhstan, and also functions as the capital of the Chüy Region that surrounds it.
The city carried the name Pishpek in earlier times and was known as Frunze between 1926 and 1991 before reverting to Bishkek. As the political and economic heart of Kyrgyzstan, it draws residents from across the country, and Muslim communities throughout its neighbourhoods observe the five daily prayers using the schedule shown above.
Prayer Times in Bishkek
Bishkek observes Kyrgyzstan Time (UTC+6) all year and does not change clocks for daylight saving, so the daily prayer schedule moves only with the seasons. At roughly 43 degrees north the city has a pronounced seasonal swing: long summer days push Fajr into the very early hours and Isha late into the evening, while short winter days bring Maghrib to the mid or late afternoon and shorten the window between prayers. Times on this page are calculated using the Muslim World League method.
Ramadan in Bishkek
During Ramadan, families and mosques across Bishkek mark the fast from the pre-dawn suhoor through to iftar at Maghrib. Because the city keeps UTC+6 year-round with no daylight saving, the timing of the fast each year depends on the season in which Ramadan falls rather than any clock change.
At Bishkek's northern latitude the length of the fasting day varies considerably with the season. When Ramadan falls in summer, the long days mean an early suhoor and a late iftar; when it falls in winter, short days bring iftar to the late afternoon and considerably shorten the fast. The daily Fajr and Maghrib rows above mark the start and end of each fasting day.
