I believe this is how you can do your project.
Use, apache, PHP, WML, NOKIA WAP ToolKIT.
change the mime type in apache webserver to send WML Page. Next you
need to find how to do the algo. for fasting prayer time.

algorhrythams but proven unsuccessful finding information.
I would appriciate any help you could provide to assist with my
project.

*Project Proposal*
*/_"Nearly everybody has a mobile phone!"_/*
*Introduction*
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.
*Scope*
* *
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.
*The testing product*
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.
*Distinctive features of the proposed product!*
* It can be accessed at all time.
* No internet connection needed.
* No subscription needed.
* No need to update every year.
* Carry it with you at all time!
* No hassle.
* Application saved on the phone memory.
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.
Priority
Deliverables
Comments
1
A comprehensive piece of research on the appropriate technologies
of java, dot net etc programming and mobile phone software.
Also research into the calculations of prayer times and lunar
calendar.
I expect to produce the majority of this research in time for the
interim report.
2
A study into people's needs and desires for this kind of technology
I hope to produce a study by interviewing a range of potential
users in time for the interim report, and will also carry out a
thorough literature search.
3
A prototype phone based application.
4
Testing
5
An actual product
Initial research into such devices by the interim report, further
research at a later date.
