Localized Prayer App
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryToday, the most famous applications are normally chosen by the scope, features, and services accommodated to the users. This project will give help people making a trip, traveling, or moving to new places by helping them find nearby mosques or worship area for ladies around them. No mobile application exists so far that can help users to find nearby mosques and their respective prayer timings just as our versatile application will help them find the mosque. The project will provide exact prayer timings for every nearby mosque. This project will help people to find the accurate and exact times of every mosque and will navigate users to the mosque’s pinpoint location by using the map. Features like Qibla direction, Quran, daily prayers, sunrise-sunset details and prayer duration of each prayer will also be added to this project to make it a complete Islamic package.
Project ObjectivesThis application will be available to iOS and Android devices and provides a tool that searches for nearby mosques. A map-based interface is also used to find the most accurate routes. Localized Prayer App is an Islamic Package for Muslims, featuring Prayer times of nearby Mosques, worship area for women, prayer duration of each prayer, sunrise or sunset timings, and details if the mosque is offering Jumma or Eid prayer with time and amazing User Interface. You will not miss any prayer again if you are traveling to a totally new place once the user sets his location by GPS satellite. Localized Mosque App search for nearby mosques, their prayer timings, and Islamic events. It will help users to find out mosques and their prayer timings specifically within a radius of 5 kilometers and navigate them to pinpoint the location of the mosque. The aim is to help people traveling to new or unknown places or coming to an unknown place to attend some Islamic event.
Project Implementation MethodThe localized prayer app is a mobile application and will be operated on android and iOS devices. So, we are targeting a hundred percent of the Smartphone’s users by releasing a built for both Android and iOS users. The architecture of the Localized prayer app is mainly divided into two components,
a mobile application and database APIs. The mobile application is responsible to handle very quick responses, fetch the intended data and display the results of the requests made by the user. Features showed to the users are fetched from the database. The mobile application is dependent on APIs that retrieve data from the database. Mobile application features include Qibla direction, Quran and prayer timings, etc. All these software features are rendered from the database by hitting the respective APIs. The localized prayer app has several components. Each module in the mobile application can be considered as a separate component. All features are grouped to make this application working. We can say Qibla’s direction is a separate component and prayer timings are another separate component. Similarly, Quran and Hijri calendar and other features will be considered as distinct components. In our application architecture, all of the separate and independent components will be connected and integrated to make this application working Technologies that are used in the development of the Localized prayer app is mainly React Native mobile technologies. React native is developed by Facebook as an open source mobile application development platform. We develop our application for both Android and iOS as React Native release builds for both platforms.
- Find mosques around people
- Tell accurate prayer timings of nearby mosques using IoT
- Navigate the user to the mosque’s pinpoint location
- User can see sunrise and sunset timings
- General prayer timings of prayer
- Provide Quran recitation
- User can find Qibla direction
- Check availability of nearby women prayer area
- User can see Hijri calendar
Implementing the general prayer timings is tough when it comes to choosing the one standard among many that are recognized by international communities. Muslim World League, Islamic Society of North America, Egyptian General Authority of Survey, University of Islamic Sciences Karachi, Shia Ithna Ashari, Institute of Geophysics, University of Tehran, Umm al-Qura University, Makkah. Choosing one among all while implementing the prayer timings is based on the geographical location of the user. At the initial stage, we are only executing our project in Pakistan so we are bound to use standard prayer timings provided by the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. Other standards can be used but according to the region and geographical location. The hardware module has a connectivity constraint. Hardware module (digital clock) would not work unless or until an internet connection is not provided to it. For this very reason, we are installing a GSM module to provide an internet connection. In case, internet connection is disabled or interrupted, the latest response of prayer timings will not be sent to the database. The database will display old outdated prayer timings to the users.
