External Services and Privacy
This plugin connects to the AlAdhan Prayer Times API to retrieve daily prayer times.
- Service: AlAdhan Prayer Times API
- API documentation: https://aladhan.com/prayer-times-api
- Terms/credits: https://aladhan.com/credits-and-terms
- Endpoint used: https://api.aladhan.com/v1/timings
- Data sent: latitude, longitude, calculation method, and Asr school.
- Purpose: to calculate and display daily prayer times for the configured or visitor-approved location.
The widget loads the administrator-selected default location first. Browser geolocation is requested only when a visitor clicks the location button and accepts the browser permission prompt. If permission is granted, the visitor’s latitude and longitude are sent to the AlAdhan API to retrieve prayer times. As with any external web request, the API provider may receive normal technical request data such as IP address, request time, and browser user agent.
The plugin does not store visitor coordinates in the WordPress database by default. Prayer-time responses may be cached in the visitor browser for the configured cache duration to reduce API requests. Site owners should mention this external API and optional location use in their own privacy policy where required.
Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/or install the ZIP from Plugins > Add New. - Activate the plugin.
- Go to Prayer Schedule in the WordPress dashboard.
- Configure your default location and display settings.
- Add the shortcode
[islampractice_prayer_schedule]to a page, post, Elementor widget, or shortcode-supported area.
