Because Nizhniy Novgorod is located at a high latitude of 56.33° N, it encounters the 'Persistent Twilight' phenomenon during the summer. At this latitude, the sun does not descend far enough (18 degrees) below the horizon. Consequently, Isha is calculated using the 'Nearest Latitude' or 'One-Seventh' rule. During the month of April, the solar path in Nizhniy Novgorod results in a shifting schedule. The Isha window is moving 2 minute(s) later by tomorrow. The Islamic night in Nizhniy Novgorod spans from sunset to dawn. Islamic Midnight is at 22:32, while the 'Last Third' of the night—the ideal time for Tahajjud—starts at 23:35.
