Overview

The class for calculating Muslim Prayer Times.

Depending on how you configure your project you may need to import “PrayTime.h”.

Here is an example for getting prayer times for a given longitude and latitude:

PrayTime *prayerTime = [[PrayTime alloc] initWithJuristic:JuristicMethodShafii
                                           andCalculation:CalculationMethodMWL];
NSMutableArray *prayerTimes = [prayerTime prayerTimesDate:[NSDate date]
                                                 latitude:3.1667
                                                longitude:101.7000
                                              andTimezone:[prayerTime getTimeZone]];
