Atlanta-based Alazaan.com is having a party at the Al-Farooq Masjid of Atlanta mosque in Midtown Saturday to launch a software application that will allow Muslims to access accurate dates and times for prayers and holidays on mobile phones.
The Muslim calendar is lunar. Its months and days don't correspond with the 365-day, 12-month solar calendar.
Additionally, various Muslim practices, such as prayers or fasts, are timed to sunrise and sunset — the times of which change throughout a year.
The ex-mayor of Macon will be there. He converted to Islam while in office.
