Guidance, reflections and practical tips on prayer, the Quran, dhikr and Muslim daily life.
A prayer time is not a clock time. It is a position of the sun, converted for your exact coordinates on one exact date. The astronomy is settled; the disagreements between honest timetables come from the two numbers people had to choose.
Seventeen minutes between two phones in the same city, and neither app is at fault. Prayer timetables are built from conventions; which prayers disagree tells you which setting differs, and your mosque's schedule tells you which one to match.
After a flight, a prayer app usually shows the wrong times because its location is stale, not because its clock is. Which prayers are wrong tells you which setting to fix.
