This page documents our calculation and quality process to make the service transparent and auditable.
1. Geographic foundation
Each city is mapped to geographic coordinates and an IANA timezone. Times are computed locally from those inputs. We avoid country-level approximations when local precision is available.
2. Calculation methods
Salatna applies the method most commonly used in each country (for example UOIF 12°, MWL 18°, ISNA). The selected method is shown on every city page.
3. Time normalization
Schedules are normalized with daylight saving transitions. Outputs are rendered in the city local time, not server time.
4. High-latitude handling
For high-latitude cities, Fajr and Isha can be sensitive across seasons. We apply the selected method rules and provide context to reduce ambiguity.
5. Technical controls
Before publishing, we run automated checks (time-range consistency, prayer order, slug integrity, timezone coherence, typecheck/build). Blocking issues are fixed before deployment.
6. Continuous review
The platform is actively maintained. SEO rules, sitemap structure, navigation quality, and production behavior are reviewed regularly.
Important: published times are informational. If a local mosque or committee provides a required local schedule, follow the local reference.
