Prayer times, the Quran and the Bible, and the reminders that turn reading into a habit — the part of religious practice that fits into a messenger.

We asked each bot the same four things: the times for a city we named and for a shared location, a specific verse by reference, an audio recitation or a translation next to the text, and a scheduled daily message. We checked whether the bot works in a group or a channel, which languages the interface speaks, and whether it asks for anything beyond pressing Start. Bots with a public repository or an official site were preferred over those with neither.
A dedicated app does more, but it also asks to be opened. A bot lives where you already are: the prayer time arrives as a message, the verse of the day appears between two work chats, and the group you share with family gets the same reminder without anyone forwarding anything. That is the whole case for this category — not features, but the absence of one more icon to tap.
Location is the first question. A bot that only knows a fixed city list will round you to the nearest capital, which in a large country is a real difference in minutes; a bot that takes a shared location calculates from coordinates. The second question is the calculation method: for prayer times there are several accepted conventions, and a bot that lets you choose the method, the madhab for Asr and a high-latitude rule will match your mosque, while one that hides all that will not.
For scripture, look at what comes with the text. A verse alone is a search result; a verse with the translation you read, an exegesis and a recitation is a study tool. And if you plan to put a bot into a channel, check that it can post there on a schedule rather than only answer requests.
Everything in this list is free, and three of the bots publish their source code. That matters more than usual for a service that knows your location and your reading habits: an open repository lets someone verify what is stored, and a stated privacy command lets you delete it. Prefer bots that answer that question in the open.
Yes. The prayer-time bots calculate from coordinates and include a high-latitude rule for northern cities, and the scripture bots do not depend on where you are at all.
Yes, if it has a scheduling command. Add it to the channel and set the time and language; a bot that only answers requests cannot do this.
Prefer a bot that says what it keeps and offers a deletion command, and remember that a city name is usually precise enough — you do not have to share an exact point.
