What is fzami?
fzami is a plugin for the Firefox browser that adds todays prayer times to the status bar so you always know when to pray. Take a look at some screenshots.
How does fzami know where i live?
You can set preferences (Tools|Options..|fzami in Firefox) for the plugin and specify your US or Canadian zip code. If you do not live in the US or Canada, you can try to enter your city, state and country name, but there are no guarantees that it'll find prayer times for you.
How does fzami know when to pray?
Based on the prayer calculation settings you provide (Tools|Options..|fzami in Firefox), fzami asks Islamicfinder.org for your prayer times. All of the calculations are made by Islamicfinder.org, so i make no warranties for their accuracy, but i do encourage you to support them by visiting their site.
It's not going to screw up my browser, is it?
i hope not. fzami is very discreet and sits in your status bar at the bottom of the browser, so it doesn't get in your way. If you suspect it's causing problems for you or just don't want it anyway, it is very easy to uninstall. Just go to Tools|Extensions|fzami|Uninstall in your Firefox menu. If you do experience any problems with it, please leave a comment or send something to the mailing list so i can try to fix it.
Suh-weet! Where can i get it?
You can download the plugin here.
Attention MAC users!
As a few of the comments below suggest, there is some trouble with the fzami options window on Macs. This is a bug in Firefox (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361747), but luckily one that has a simple workaround. The Fzami options window will display properly if you change your browser.preferences.animateFadeIn option to false.
You can do this by typing 'about:config' in your Firefox address bar, locating the 'browser.preference.animateFadeIn' property, and then setting the value to false. According to Mozilla, this should be fixed in Firefox 3.

@Mahmud
Unfortunately, many of the non-US/Canada cities aren't working at the moment because the city name isn't always unique for the country. For example, IslamicFinder.org recognizes 42 distinct cities for "London" in the UK. (
hopefully, i'll get a chance to try to figure out how to resolve this soon. if you're interested/willing, i'd certainly appreciate some help! :)

By the look of your code, you are scrapping the countries from here:
Then for each country, you are scrapping the Main Cities, assuming (incorrectly) that each Country/Main City will map to a prayer time page.Possible solution include that if the County/Main City leads to a dismabiguation page - choose the first link on that page (and take its 'State' value) and use that to get the prayertimes.
Or as a quick fix allow the user to enter the state value directly into their preferences if there is an issue with the target page - that should allow the program to at least work.
You have a state tag in your code, which I saw you commented out, so you would say default that to -1 and only add it to the URL if it had been set by the user.

@ Melissa and SF
i'm sorry to hear that the Options aren't working in on the Mac.. i don't personally have Mac to debug the code on, but i will try to get access to one soon. In the meantime, you can manually set the preferences in the prefs.js file located in your profile directory. i'm not sure exactly where that's stored on a Mac. if you're in the US, just set the 'extensions.fzami.location.type' pref to 0 and 'extensions.fzami.location.zipcode' to your zipcode.

The timings displayed in the add-on and those on the website (IslamicFinder.org) do not match. For the zip code 32807, Maghrib and Isha prayer times differ by 44 min. and 52 min. respectively (Calculation Method Used : North America ) on Jan 11, 2007.

AS Salaam Alaykum! The prayer timings being displayed in the Firefox browser are not correct for my zipcode. I myself have the Athan software from Islamicfinder.org, and the timings displayed do not match what is being shown by the Athan software.
When I first installed the plugin, the timings displayed were correct, but subsequently they changed & now remain incorrect.
The zipcode I am using is 60188, and the settings I have from Islamicfinder.org are Hanafi, and Isna.Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040804 Netscape/7.2 (ax) - [10] Submitted by: Mueen Alkowni on Thursday 11th January 2007 at 08:49 -0800

Dear Brother, the time being displayed is incorrect for the zip code 32828 as well and there is about 30 min difference between teh correct timming and the time indicated by the addon code to FF.

**** Prayer Times Incorrect ****
Islamicfinder.org just modified it's output format slightly, so the times are not being parsed correctly. Version 1.0 of the plugin has been submitted to mozdev and addons.mozilla.org, and should be available shortly. Please updated and the times should parse correctly again.

Assalamualaikum,
Just installed Version 1 of the add-on. Prayer times displayed by the extension and on IslamicFinder.org are consistent. I am hopeful it will stay that way after the daily refresh.
Thanks a bunch for the quick fix. JazakAllahu Khair.

This tool is a very nice idea, and the integration with FireFox works nicely.
I would like to recommend the ability to configure location based on longitude and latitude, because then we can overcome many of the problems associated with duplicate/ambiguous names. For example, I was unable to enter my exact city name, nor the ZIP code even though I live in the USA. The simple workaround has been to chose the closest metro that was recognized by IslamicFinder. This resulted in couple minutes difference from what I had with Athan, but I think that this is acceptable.
Thanks, Jazak Allah Khair

i agree that being able to enter a latitude/longitude would be nice; however, at the moment, the fzami plugin is limited by what Islamicfinder.org can handle.
if anyone is aware of another free, online source of prayertimes, i'd be happy to make fzami integrate with that, as well.

Assalamu'alaikum wr. wb. brother, I am using version 1.0.1 with Firefox 2.0.0.1 for Mac OS X. I have set the location to Denmark and searched for Copenhagen, which worked out fine. However, the preference does not appear to be saved as the only thing that I get in the bottom is "Error reading preferences".
Is there a work around for this until things get sorted out?
Salam

Assalamualaikum and JazakAllahu Khair,
I have the latest extension installed - 1.0.1.
The extension works great! Prayer times are very consistent with those on IslamicFinder.org.I have noticed the following in the extension:
1. In , should the time be changed from the default of 30 min. The displayed alert does not display the name of the prayer but the time. Example of the alert:Less than 50 minutes left for 50 time.
2. Does not allow selection based on Zip code, only City name...
Hope these will be resolved in future versions.
Regards,

Al-Salam Alikom
Dear brother ;
Thank you very much for this nice tool , it works perfectly for me but the only annoying part is that it is so wide bar with no view options available.My suggestion is to add view options tab & provide options to view the whole bar or just a small bar with the next prayer time only.

Great Plugin, really convenient. Keep up the Good Work.
One thing i noticed is that you interpret prayer 'end time' as the start of next prayer time, which is incorrect. For zohar, hanafi, time end by around two hours before asr in Karachi. If Islamic Finder is not giving you this data, you might want to remove this as the end time reminder is not valid.
Once again, thank you for this usefull plugin.

Just for the record can I add a solution to a problem i faced (Firefox 2 on Linux) when trying to choose location.
1. Select your country
2. Type the location you want to search for, and wait for a few second while the results are retrieved
3. In the result list select the correct location and then HIT THE ENTER key.If you don't hit the enter key it will not save your options and give you an error

Salaams,
Suddenly, the prayer times have disappeared from Firefox.
The fzami extension is still there, the tab headings such as f,z,a,m,i still show up for the 5 prayers, but without any times.
The islamicfinder.org site is available.
Has anyone experienced this?
My Firefox version is 1.5.0.12
Any feedback will be appreciated.Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.12) Gecko/20070508 Firefox/1.5.0.12 - [28] Submitted by: Mohammed Riyas on Tuesday 19th June 2007 at 12:03 -0700

Salam,
Using firefox 2.0.0.4 and fzami 1.1.0.4.
In the location tab, cannot type a canadian postal code. It will not accept letters from the keyboard. Only numbers. It used to work in earlier versions. The workaround is to type the postal code somewhere else and copy and paste it to the field.
Jazak Allah Khair for this excellent extension.

When I downloaded the 'add on' it randomly came up with a zip code that its giving me prayer times for. They are way off from where I live.
I can't figure out how to change it. I went to Tools in Mozilla Firefox and then to "Options.." and there is no Tab or button that says fzami.
When I click options, it only offers the following tabs:
"Main, Tabs, Content, Feeds, Privacy, Security,Advanced"How do I change the zipcode to my zipcode/city,state. FYI, I'm in NY and I have an IBM computer.
Jazakallah khayr for designing this program. It sounds amazing in concept. I hope you can help me use it. :)

Try going to "Tools"->"AddOns" and see the extensions list. Then click the Fzami extension, you'll see an "Options" button. For Firefox 3, you'll be able to access extension preferences from the main preferences panel but for now you'll need to use this other method.

Alsalam Alekom,
Recently I found that FZAMI is not giving the correct prayer times as those in islamicfinder. I checked 2 cities: Ann Arbor (USA) and Halifax (Canada).
Also, you cannot enter Canadian postal codes directly (only numbers are accepted). I had to write it somewhere then copy and paste in the location box.
