Isha Timing in Saint Petersburg
For today, Saturday, March 07, the Isha prayer in Saint Petersburg starts at 20:39. By tomorrow, the time will shift to 20:41, marking a difference of 2 minutes later due to the solar cycle.
Isha is the night prayer, performed once total darkness has set in. It is the final of the five daily prayers, typically followed by the Witr prayer.
Because Saint Petersburg is located at a high latitude of 59.94° 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 March, the solar path in Saint Petersburg results in a shifting schedule. The Isha window is moving 2 minute(s) later by tomorrow. The Islamic night in Saint Petersburg spans from sunset to dawn. Islamic Midnight is at 23:56, while the 'Last Third' of the night—the ideal time for Tahajjud—starts at 01:42.
