Can Maghrib be combined with Isha?

What dua is recommended at the moment of Maghrib?
The Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ taught the dua of breaking fast (which applies in Ramadan): "Dhahaba al-zama'u wabtallat al-'uruq wa thabata al-ajru in sha' Allah" โ€” "Thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is established, God willing" (Abu Dawud).

On this same date one year ago, Maghrib in Yelets was at 20:44 local time. Today it is at 20:43, which is 1 minutes earlier. This year-over-year drift reflects the gradual shift of the solar year and is the reason prayer times are recomputed astronomically every day rather than read from a static table.

What is the spiritual significance of Maghrib?

Why are Maghrib's 3 rakat unusual?
