Hello,
There is a bug in prayer calculations in ITL It doesn't calculate the
right time for "Abu-Dhabi." First I thought it was because of SWIG
when I got wrong times in my Java application, I get the same error
when I ran prayer-demo. I changed the date to 30/9/2004 and changed
the call to getMethod(7, conf) to getMethod(6, conf);.
According to islamicfinder.com, the prayer-times for Abu-Dhabi are:
Fri 30 5:43 7:05 12:36 3:45 6:07 7:37
But, according to ITL, the prayer-times are:
Prayer schedule for: Abu Dhabi on 30/ 9/2004
Latitude = 24 28' 59.9" N
Longitude = 54 21' 0.0" E
Qibla = 99 58' 13.2" W of true North
4:53:57 6:14:14 12:12:30 15:36:52 18:10:26 19:40:26
Tomorrow's Fajr: 4:54
Tomorrow's Imsaak: 4:47
Today's Imsaak: 4:47
The values are off by one hour and ten minutes.
