Prayer-time method setup checklist
Use this checklist to confirm your city, timezone, calculation profile and local guidance before relying on an app or device.
1. Location
Set your actual city. Confirm the coordinates are yours, not a regional default.
2. Method
Select the Ja'fari calculation profile your community or marja follows, and note which one you chose.
3. Maghrib
Check whether the tool uses plain sunset or applies an interval after it. This single setting explains most Maghrib disagreements.
4. Timezone and daylight saving
Confirm the timezone and that clock changes are handled automatically.
5. Compare locally
Check a full week against a locally reviewed timetable before relying on the settings.
6. Re-check periodically
Re-run this checklist after moving, after a clock change and after any major app or firmware update.
