Re: Developer Digest, Vol 23, Issue 5



Salam alikom,

All I can tell you that its a very easy thing to do. I was about to develop
the same type of application, but which requires internet connection for
www.IslamPrayerTimes.com.

I then came across brother's  Nauman Khan website: www.mobilemolvee.com,
which provides what I wanted to do but as a downloadable application.

You can try to contact him and he might help you out.

Salam alikom,
Aziz

> My project proposal for the final year project is the investigation into
and production of a "prayer and fasting time Information Application"
program, which the user will be able to view and set alarms to notify them
of payer time as well as time for breaking fast. The program will be created
for the use on mobile phones.

> The project is potentially quite a large piece of work, and it is
difficult to state categorically what will be feasible within the limited
time period available to me. Rather than define absolutely what my
"deliverables" are, I propose to produce a prioritised list of deliverables,
and I will attempt to produce what is possible in the time frame of the
third year project. I hope to treat this project, as merely the first part
of a piece of work that will, I believe, be genuinely useful for our day to
day life and in a wide range of situations.

> The Problem

>
> One of the challenges Muslims face living in the west is the inability to
hear the Azan (calling to pray) from the mosque very loud so we know when to
pray. This is considered noise pollution. Praying five times a day, it is
very hard to know when exactly to pray as the prayer time varies everyday.
In my personal opinion being a Muslim myself there is desperate need for
this innovation and the demand for this is also very high.

> My product covers the needs of prayer and fasting timetable. It will be
designed especially for mobile phones; this is because everyone now has a
mobile phone also there is demand for this innovation. My product will be
designed as an application which can be uploaded on a mobile phone; this
product will function in a similar way as a Calender would on Mobile Phones.

> It will be designed so that when the user can select the present and a
future date to view the prayer times and also activate an alarm for desired
prayer time or all of the daily five prayers. It will also have a function
for the month of Ramadan (opening and closing fast), which will calculate it
for each year as it follows the lunar calendar.

> The Deliverables
>
>
>
> In the long term, I would like to produce a comprehensive solution to the
problem of being aware of the exact time to pray, but in the meantime
herewith is a list of various deliverables, with their priorities. The
minimum set of deliverables should incorporate priorities 1 to 5, but I hope
to achieve everything else on the list (and any thing else revealed in the
course of the project) in due course.
