What Global Prayer Times does
Most prayer-time bots are built for one city. This one starts from where you are: share a location or send /city Jakarta, and it answers with today's times, /next for the coming prayer and /tomorrow for the day ahead. Reminders are opt-in and scheduled in your local time, including a pre-prayer nudge, fasting days and Islamic occasions.
The settings are where the project pulls ahead. Nine calculation methods, a madhab choice for Asr, a high-latitude rule for northern cities and manual per-prayer adjustment are all exposed — the same knobs a good prayer app has, only inside Telegram. A Mini App renders them visually, along with a Qibla bearing and distance to the Kaaba with a live compass, a corrected Umm al-Qura Hijri date and a 30-day calendar.
The interface speaks English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Russian, Turkish, Uzbek and Tatar. The source is public on GitHub, the bot is free, and /privacy and /delete_me are ordinary commands rather than a buried policy — a detail worth noting for something that knows your location.

FAQ
Does it work outside Muslim-majority countries?
Yes. It calculates from coordinates and has a high-latitude rule for northern cities where the sun barely sets.
Can I delete my location afterwards?
Yes, /delete_me removes your data, and /privacy states what the bot keeps.
