Night Interval Calculations

السلام عليكم.

One of the core features of the Pillars app is that it provides the 5 daily prayer times for any location (and this works within its widget, too, which is brilliant). However, the Pillars app goes above and beyond by providing a “Sunrise” timing as well! It even changes to “Duha” exactly 15 minutes after Sunrise.

It would be great if there was a neat info box upon clicking “Sunrise” that mentioned “It is recommended that Salat Ad-Duha is delayed to at least 15 minutes after Sunrise. (With Source)”. It would also be great if there was an info box for clicking “Isha”, reading “The Prophet ﷺ mentioned that the time for Isha is until the middle of the night. (With source)”.

This leads me to my primary request: I think many would benefit if there was a box under “Isha” which calculated the midnight time (Halfway between Maghrib and Fajr), and maybe that same box it could have the “Last Third” of the night timing as well. This way one can know for certain, with ease, these two important night intervals. I wouldn’t add these timings to the Lock or Home Screen widgets, but I would add them to the app since they are quite a simple calculation to add ان شاء الله!
