• Compass error setting
• Measuring the direction of the sun during theoretical sunrise or sunset
• Measure the direction of any low-altitude celestial body
• Definition of different time measurement systems and the relationship between them.
• Knowledge of the foundations of the system of rising and setting celestial bodies.
• Knowledge of the foundations of the annual movement of the sun and its effect on the phenomenon of night and day
• Transforming the legal foundations of the times of the call to prayer for the five daily prayers into applied equations
