Sabily is a free, open source operating system designed by and for Muslims. It is based on the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution which is a free, efficient and secure operating system. Unlike Microsoft Windows and other proprietary systems, Linux is publicly open and extendible by contributors.

Sabily includes a set of packages that customizes the Ubuntu distro; Ubuntu is easy to use for a novice user, with the most-used Office, Internet, Graphics and Video applications already installed. With Sabily, Muslim users have “out of the box” Islamic software and tools installed as well. Sabily includes Islamic software (prayer times tool, Quran study tool, Hijri calendar etc.) and has a custom design. Sabily comes with out of the box educational software, codecs for the most used media formats and has better support for Arabic language.

Muezzin bot Print E-mail
Tuesday, 29 Jamadil Akhir 1430

The Sabily team has just developed a useful jabber bot: the "Muezzin bot". It can send you Instant Messages when it is time
to pray. It can also display the prayer times of the day.

It's very simple to use,  just add " This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it " to your contact list. You should use a jabber compatible client
software, like google GTalk or Pidgin (which is installed by default on Sabily).

You can thereafter configure your location, prayer times calculation method etc. by sending "configure" to the bot.
You could check the daily prayer times by sending "times". Send "help" to display the full list of available commands.

Here is a sample of how to use the Muezzin bot with pidgin:

  • Add " This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it " to your contact list:

    Screenshot-Add Buddy

  • Type 'configure':

  • You can easily configure your location by clicking on a map:

    Screenshot-Muezzin bot configuration - Mozilla Firefox

    Here, the calculation method has been set to "UOIF, France"

  • You can then ask the bot the daily prayer times, and you will receive Instant Messages when it is time to pray:
