dst fixes for prayertimes

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

alsalam 3ala man itaba3al huda.
today, i finally ran a script that i wrote to update the database of timezones. now, non-us areas should hopefully show the correct time when for prayer taking dst into account. oh and i also made it automatically select the search box so that its faster than ever to get your prayer times now.

if you haven’t already seen it, check out prayertimes here.

introducing searchaudio.net

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

alsalam 3ala man itaba3 al huda -
introducing the world’s first islamic audio search engine - searchaudio.net. this is currently our newest application and is very much in beta. it currently searches over 60,000 lectures across two major islamic audio sites (islamway.com and aswatalislam.net) with plans to soon add more content from other sites.

there are many new features and improvements in the works, including transliteration search across the arabic lectures, improvements to the search engine, and more. if you have ideas or can help improve the design of the site, drop us an email here.

walsalam 3alaikum.

audio.islamicnetwork gets a facelift

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

alsalam 3ala man itaba3 al huda.
today, we’ve put up the redesign of the audio site. this features a slightly nicer looking (yet simple) design, and, more importantly, several backend improvements. also, note that the anasheed section is now gone. this is due to two reasons - first, a lack of use of it, and second, this will eventually be outdated by one of the new projects that we are working on that is nearing completion. stay tuned for more details!

also, we now have the 1427 makkah and madinah taraweeh in cd quality up on the site. may Allah reward the brother who provided us with these files.

more details later insha’Allah.

new home for the dev blog

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

alsalam 3ala man itaba3 al huda,
so we’ve decided to give the old development blog a new home and host it here. the purpose of this blog is two fold. first, to document some of the things we are working on and let our users (you) know what is going on behind the scenes. second, to provide the users of our sites an opportunity to interact with us and share their comments in order to make our sites the best sites on the internet. we have some nice things coming up insha’Allah, so keep an eye out on this site (or subscribe to the rss feed) for the latest developments.
