Mawqut is an astronomical prayer timer, it bases on sunrise-sunset.org to get times as follows:
- Al-Fajr is calculated internally based on Hour Angle Equation where by default it takes the astronomical twilight angle 18 degrees (https://www.islamweb.net/en/fatwa/473398/the-time-of-the-fajr-morning-prayer), the user can adjust the degree from the settings screen.
- Al-Dhuhr is at the day noon.
- Al-Asr is calculated internally based on Hour Angle Equation where the solar zenith angle for Shafi’i is when the length of the object’s shadow equals the length of the object’s shadow at the noon plus the object’s height, and for Hanafi is when the length of the object’s shadow equals the length of the object’s shadow at the noon plus twice the object’s height.
- Al-Maghreb is at the sunset.
- Al-Ishaa is calculated internally based on Hour Angle Equation where by default it takes the astronomical twilight angle 18 degrees, the user can adjust the degree from the settings screen.
