Deen Time

Your daily Islamic prayer companion. Provides accurate Salah times (Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha) for any city or coordinates worldwide. During Ramadan, also provides Suhoor (pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (fast-breaking) schedules with full monthly calendars.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user asks about:

• - Prayer times for a specific location
• Iftar or Suhoor times
• Ramadan schedule or timetable
• When to break fast or start fasting
• Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, or Isha times
• Islamic prayer schedule

How It Works

This skill uses the Aladhan Prayer Times API (https://aladhan.com/prayer-times-api), a free and reliable public API that requires no authentication.

Fetching Prayer Times by City

CODEBLOCK0

Replace {CITY}, {COUNTRY}, and {METHOD} with actual values. URL-encode spaces (e.g., New%20York). Always use -L to follow redirects.

Fetching Prayer Times by Coordinates

CODEBLOCK1

Use this when the user provides latitude/longitude or when a city name is ambiguous.

Fetching a Full Monthly Calendar

CODEBLOCK2

Use this for Ramadan schedules. {MONTH} is the Gregorian month number (1-12).

Calculation Methods

The method parameter controls prayer time calculation. Pick the most appropriate one based on the user's region:

Important Notes to Convey

• - Suhoor must be completed before Fajr. The Imsak time (typically 10 min before Fajr) is the recommended cutoff.
• Iftar is at Maghrib (sunset).
• All times are in the local timezone of the requested location.
• If the user doesn't specify a location, ask for their city and country.
• If the user doesn't specify a date, use today's date.
