Method explanation

Are the Hours Incorrect?

Do the hours seem ahead of or behind where they should be? Read the explanation below to understand why.

When you use our app:

  • → The first hour of the day should be the Sun hour.
  • → The hours seem to be shifted forward or backward.

If these points make it seem like our app is showing incorrect times, we would like to clarify:

In our app, the starting point for calculations is the evening adhan (Maghrib), not sunrise (according to Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi's method).

For this reason, some users think in terms of sunrise when they first install the app, notice a forward/backward shift, and assume the app is incorrect.

There is no calculation error here. Because day length changes in summer and winter, the hour you expect at sunrise may appear earlier or later. Since our method uses the evening adhan (Maghrib) as the starting point, this is expected.

Thank you for your understanding.
