Shymkent sits in Shymkent, Kazakhstan, at 42.3417°, 69.5901°. Those two numbers — latitude and longitude — are the entire geographic input for the timetable. Population on this page is treated as a ranking signal only; the prayer times themselves depend on the sun’s altitude as seen from this point on Earth. The urban area is on the order of 1.2 million people.

For the latitude of Shymkent, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 05:45 and Maghrib is 18:59. Dhuhr (12:22) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in Kazakhstan, and why this page is calculated from Shymkent’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

The Muslim World League method is the starting point on this Shymkent page. Fajr and Isha are defined by solar depression angles (or, for Umm al-Qura, a Maghrib-plus-minutes rule). Asr is shown in the Hanafi manner (shadow factor 2), which is the usual printed convention in much of South and Central Asia. If a local mosque publishes a different Fajr or Isha angle, pick that method in the selector or apply a minute offset.

Muslims in Shymkent use a mix of mosque timetables, printed pocket calendars and apps. The figures on this page are meant to sit next to those sources: same coordinates, transparent method, no hidden offset unless you add one.

Qibla from Shymkent is 239.3° from true north (WSW), about 3,615 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Almaty (600 km), prayer times in Astana (992 km), prayer times in Tashkent (119 km), prayer times in Namangan (229 km), prayer times in Andijan (287 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Shymkent is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
