Prayer Time Calculations

Prayer times are calculated using standard Islamic calculation methods (ISNA, MWL, Egyptian, etc.) and your device's location data. While we strive for accuracy, prayer times may vary slightly based on:

  • Local conventions and adjustments
  • Daylight saving time changes

We recommend consulting with local mosques or Islamic authorities to verify prayer times for your area.
