Prayer Times in Ashgabat
Ashgabat stays on Turkmenistan Time (UTC+5) all year with no daylight saving, so prayer times shift only with the seasons rather than with clock changes. At about 38°N the seasonal swing is noticeable: long summer days push Fajr earlier and Isha later into the evening, while short winter days bring Maghrib to the late afternoon and shorten the gap between prayers. Times on this page are calculated using the Muslim World League method.
Ramadan in Ashgabat
During Ramadan, the daily fast in Ashgabat runs from Fajr (dawn) to Maghrib (sunset), so the length of the fasting day depends on the time of year that Ramadan falls. Because the city sits at about 38°N, summer Ramadans bring long fasting days with an early dawn and a late sunset, while winter Ramadans are noticeably shorter.
Since Ashgabat keeps UTC+5 year-round with no daylight saving, the Suhoor and Iftar times move gradually from day to day with the natural shift of sunrise and sunset rather than jumping with any clock change.
