Abstract
Technological advancements witnessed in the past decade have facilitated the computation of many previously complex calculations. As a result, it is now convenient to calculate prayer times at any given location. In every Islamic country, there is an organization which calculates prayer times for every single day of the year and publishes it in its calendar. Nowadays, it is easy for an ordinary person to locate their position via GPS on their mobile phones, this facilitates the calculation of prayer times according to the location of the indicated person. This paper introduces new methods of calculations that can be carried out in order to determine prayer times at any given location.
