Why Prayer Time Finder?
Praying is one of the most important
religious activities in the life of Muslims. Muslims pray five
times a day at certain times depending on the day of the year
and the location on earth, and praying should be performed at
these times, not before or after. So, the prayer times must
be calculated accurately to allow Muslims to pray at the
prescribed times. Our main motivation for going into this
project was to produce something useful that can help other
people. Our aim was to give out a small device to display the
prayer times of the day and alarm the user at these times.
One can say that knowing the prayer times is
not a problem, as we can easily listen to the call of the Azan
from any mosque. This is true in the Islamic countries, where
all the mosques announce the Azan at the prayer times. But, in
non-Islamic countries, it is a real problem, as one can not hear
the call of the Azan, and hence can not know the prayer times.
And here comes the importance if a way to announce the prayer
times and that can be easily held and taken anywhere.
One other importance for such a device is in
mosques, whether in Islamic or non-Islamic countries. This
device can help in the automation of the Azan and Iqama of
prayers. The one responsible for the announcing the Azan and
Iqama can rely on the device and its alarms to know the exact
times of prayers.
