Maa shaaʾ Allaah! This is great, akhee. Jazaak Allaahu khayran for putting this together. I tried it for Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia, and it pulled in the right times (within one minute, anyway, according to Minbar), except for fajr & ʿishāʾ, which use a different method from ISNA. I do suggest you transliterate the ʿayn better. I know Egyptians love using numbers, but even a simple apostrophe is better and easier on the eyes than a 3. Just my personal opinion, though. You obviously know which marks I use anyway (the ones Wikipedia mentions). Allaahu akbar! Maa shaaʾ Allaah! This is great, akhee. Jazaak Allaahu khayran for putting this together.
