No, I am not talking about that. I have attached an image for your reference of an android app. See http://www.androidzoom.com/android_a...pass_ltmr.html. There was a similiar java app which I had used in my n95, Sony p990, etc

Basically, how it works is, it takes the time, the date, and the geographical location and predicts the position of the sun/moon (probably from an algorithm as the aforesaid app did not connect to the net) wrt to a compass. Now the direction of the qibla is overlaid on the image and a person can align his mobile with the sun and get the correct qibla direction.

The other reason, which is the main behind removing Hadith is the legitimacy of the source, I cannot or don't have the time to ensure the Hadiths are correct and verified, and I am not ready to have the responsibility of distributing false Hadith, a major problem

Thanks.

Legitimacy, is a very critical and valid problem. I believe it can be solved by making the app read the hadith from a database of "Sahih- Bukhari" or "Riyadhu Saliheen". Even Arabic/English translations are easily available from the net.

Another feature idea that came into mind now is (please don't think I am over abusing your kindness) to have an offsetted alarm. ie, Now the alarm (adhan) goes off exactly at the time of the adhan. Suppose everyday I wanted to wake 10minutes after Zubah adhan, or in Ramdan I wanted to wake 45 minutes before adhan? So this can be a simple alarm that goes off a specified amount of minutes before/after the actual adhan.

I hope you would take this into consideration, and jazakallah!
