Prayer

High precision prayer time library

Adhan is a well tested and well documented library for calculating Islamic prayer times. All astronomical calculations are high precision equations directly from the book “Astronomical Algorithms” by Jean Meeus. This book is recommended by the Astronomical Applications Department of the U.S. Naval Observatory and the Earth System Research Laboratory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Languages

Adhan is based on the following port:

C (C99) (Usage and examples)

Usage

Add the library dependency into your Cargo.toml file for example:

[dependencies]
prayer = { git "https://github.com/AnharHussainMiah/prayer.git" }

Next import the library:

use prayer::{
    CalculationMethod, CalculationParameters, Coordinates, DateComponent, PrayerTimes,
    TimeComponent,
};

A basic example of computing the prayer times using a predefined CalculationMethod :

if let Ok(prayers) = prayer::PrayerTimes::new(
        Coordinates::new(51.509865, -0.118092), // latitude, longitude
        TimeComponent::new(0, 0, 0),            // hours, minutes, seconds
        DateComponent::new(1, 8, 2023),         // day, month, year
        CalculationParameters::by_method(CalculationMethod::MuslimWorldLeague),
    ) {
        println!(
            "Fajr -> {}:{}:{}",
            prayers.fajr.hours, prayers.fajr.minutes, prayers.fajr.seconds
        );
        println!(
            "Sunrise -> {}:{}:{}",
            prayers.sunrise.hours, prayers.sunrise.minutes, prayers.sunrise.seconds
        );
        println!(
            "Dhuhr -> {}:{}:{}",
            prayers.dhuhr.hours, prayers.dhuhr.minutes, prayers.dhuhr.seconds
        );
        println!(
            "Asr -> {}:{}:{}",
            prayers.asr.hours, prayers.asr.minutes, prayers.asr.seconds
        );
        println!(
            "Maghrib -> {}:{}:{}",
            prayers.maghrib.hours, prayers.maghrib.minutes, prayers.maghrib.seconds
        );
        println!(
            "isha -> {}:{}:{}",
            prayers.isha.hours, prayers.isha.minutes, prayers.isha.seconds
        );
    }

Using custom calculation parameters

Contributing

Prayer is made publicly available to provide a well tested and well documented library for Islamic prayer times to all developers. We accept feature contributions provided that they are properly documented and include the appropriate unit tests. We are also looking for contributions in the form of unit tests of of prayer times for different locations, we do ask that the source of the comparison values be properly documented.
