luqman salleh -
One other possible option for you to consider...
I would assume that the sunni muslim religion would have tables available for all prayer dates for the comming year(s)...or...
These dates could be calculated very accurately and very easily on a calculator or computer, and then placed in a lookup table. Hook up an RTC (Real Time Clock) device such as the DS 1307 that Ralph recently turned me onto, that has very nice accuracy and even keeps track of leap years, and you could simply call the appropriate prayer time based on this. I do not mean to sound like this is a flawless method, but it is a different possible approach and may offer you added comfort of accuracy.
As you are interested in this, I have attached a very cool program I found on the internet a few years back for calculating the phase of the moon...used in calculating Ramadan. I have many Muslim friends that would be very excited about your idea! Best of luck to you and let us know how your project goes...we are all happy for you!
Best Regards,
Carl
