How are prayer times calculated for Tbilisi?
Sitting at roughly 41.72°N in Tbilisi, Tbilisi has its own sunrise and sunset each day, so its prayer times are worked out from its exact position rather than a regional average.
Today the sun rises at 07:18 and Maghrib falls at 18:12, giving 10h 53m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:45) and Isha (currently 19:39) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Tbilisi, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 193° from here, roughly to the south — a great-circle distance of about 2,305 km.

“
And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed [to you]. Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.
Qur'an 20:13–14
Taking time to pray five times a day is a duty upon every Muslim and a means of remembering Allah (SWT) and our purpose in life — to worship Him. When we turn towards Makkah we join Muslims around the world who face the same direction (Qibla).
When we pray we communicate directly with Allah (SWT), and we are closest to Him in prostration (sujood).
This is one of the best moments to make du'a — so the next time you are in sujood, take a moment to raise your hands and supplicate.
