Re: Prayer time

[haq <al at alinsyria dot fsnet dot co dot uk>]

ramadan mubarak

I am the main developer of kprayertime and since I've just finished arabising 
it (arabic labels & numerals as an option) and tidying it up a bit I thought 
I'd let you know here, and I notice that someone's thinking of doing 
something similar for GTK. That's great.

There seems to be some confusion about the calculation methods. Prospective 
developers should be aware that there are many ways of calculating the Salat 
times and that there are also differences between the madhhabs, primarily 
between shaafi`ii and the others, where `asr is earlier in Shaafi`ii ( by 
over an hour or more sometimes, depending on your latitude and the time of 
year of course).

If anyone has any queries I'd be glad to help as much as I can but the people 
who did the maths used in these programs seem to have disappeared or lost 
interest and are not answering the emails.

I personally have been living in Syria for the last year and am now back in 
the UK.

Amin and I will be releasing the latest version shortly. I'll post here when 
it can be downloaded.

wassalaam
