Provides preset configuration for a few authorities for calculating prayer times.
Variants§
MuslimWorldLeague
Muslim World League. Standard Fajr time with an angle of 18°. Earlier Isha time with an angle of 17°.
Egyptian
Egyptian General Authority of Survey. Early Fajr time using an angle 19.5° and a slightly earlier Isha time using an angle of 17.5°.
Karachi
University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. A generally applicable method that uses standard Fajr and Isha angles of 18°.
UmmAlQura
Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. Uses a fixed interval of 90 minutes from maghrib to calculate Isha. And a slightly earlier Fajr time with an angle of 18.5°. Note: you should add a +30 minute custom adjustment for Isha during Ramadan.
Dubai
Used in the UAE. Slightly earlier Fajr time and slightly later Isha time with angles of 18.2° for Fajr and Isha in addition to 3 minute offsets for sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, and Maghrib.
MoonsightingCommittee
Method developed by Khalid Shaukat, founder of Moonsighting Committee Worldwide. Uses standard 18° angles for Fajr and Isha in addition to seasonal adjustment values. This method automatically applies the 1/7 approximation rule for locations above 55° latitude. Recommended for North America and the UK.
NorthAmerica
Also known as the ISNA method. Can be used for North America, but the moonsightingCommittee method is preferable. Gives later Fajr times and early. Isha times with angles of 15°.
Kuwait
Standard Fajr time with an angle of 18°. Slightly earlier Isha time with an angle of 17.5°.
Qatar
Same Isha interval as ummAlQura
but with the standard Fajr time using an angle of 18°.
Singapore
Used in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Early Fajr time with an angle of 20° and standard Isha time with an angle of 18°.
Tehran
Institute of Geophysics, University of Tehran. Early Isha time with an angle of 14°. Slightly later Fajr time with an angle of 17.7°. Calculates Maghrib based on the sun reaching an angle of 4.5° below the horizon.
Turkey
An approximation of the Diyanet method used in Turkey. This approximation is less accurate outside the region of Turkey.
Other
Defaults to angles of 0°, should generally be used for making a custom method and setting your own values.
