I’ve opened my e-mail today, just to be greeted by somebody named Mr. Sulu, or to be exact, Dr Borneo Sulu (check out the name). Plus, this particular Mr Sulu is not a navigator in the starship Enterprise, but instead an auditor from Ministry of Finance from Malaysia(!).

here’s the excerpt of the email

I am Dr.Borneo Sulu an auditor with the Contract Evaluation Unit,Ministry Of Finance .Last year November one Mr.Raheem Praveen from India executed contract through

solat.xml – get prayers time in xml format

Surfed the internet today and I found an interesting project, the solat.xml from http://zaim.abrahman.com/labs/. According to the website, solat.xml is a web service API that uses REST based protocol.

Basically, to use solat.xml service, you just have provide your location, month and year, and the service will return you the list of prayers time in xml format, as defined in the above-mentioned website.

Currently the service only supports prayers time within malaysia, using data generated from http://www.al-azim.com/falak/, an astronomy association from Melaka.

I think this is a useful service, because it could be easily integrated into any applications be it web-based or stand-alone. Please write to the author of solat.xml (abuzaim+solatxml@gmail.com) if you have any ideas or improvements for the project.
