I have been making a script that calculates Ramadan timings for muslims across the world. The calculations are accurate upto 30 seconds because we are using google map api with upto 6 decimal digits but the major problem is the difference between the two believers. Can someone tell me how the prayer times of Shia brothers and sunni brothers are calculated. What is the key factor that plays a major role in the difference of timings.

(bismillah) This is something about ORIGIN of Sunnis and Shiites: All Muslims believe that GOD is the guider of humans and we need to get our program schedule from GOD. But 99.9999% of humans do not have direct connection with GOD. So, God sent Prophets to Guide them on be half of him (GOD). All Muslims accept the Mohammad (pbuh) is the Last prophet from God. He left Quran between the Muslims as a GUIDE book to find out what God wanted from humans. But, to get all the DETAILS of GOD orders, Quran is not enough. Quran is the Guidance book but with its special language. It has around 500 Ahkam ayas and many Ayas about heaven and hell and... But there are so many things which Quran is empty from them, For Example: The way to Pray. How to pray in the morning, in the noon ... ? How many Rakaats in Salat? How exactly to make Ghosl ? Both Shiites and Sunnis refer to Mohammad (pbuh) as the Describer of God orders. > So, our duty is to reach the Exact and Real words of Prophet (pbuh) as a Guider from God. We name the Words : HADITH > One of the Big issues in Shiat and Sonat is to determine the True Hadith from Fictitious Hadith. > The specialists have their own ways to understand if A Hadith is True or Not, 1. They review the Tellers of each Hadith If all the Tellers are Good people about Telling the Hadith they will accept the Hadith. 2. .... 3. .... What happened , after Death of Mohamad (pbuh) ? Caliphs (Abubakr, Omar Ibn Khatab, Othman, Mo'avia) announced that: WRITING THE AHADITH IS FORBIDDEN. Quran is enough for us! This was due to avoid TAHRIF Al Quran as they say. A period (around 100 Years) Writing the hadith was FORBIDDEN. > People who heared the Sentences of Rasoolollah (pbuh) started to Die, to Forget. Many of written Sentences have destroyed and burned by Colapha. No one allowed to write. Results After this 100 Years : 1. Every one forgot the Prophet (pbuh) words 2. New generation didn't have enough info about Prophet (pbuh) words. 3. Fake and fictitious words came to the mouth one by one. 4. ... After this 100 BLACK DIRTY YEARS, new Caliph Omar Ibne Abdol Aziz braked this rule. Everyone started to write Ahadith. Everything they Heard from Every one. Hundred Thousands of Ahadith have been written. FYI: Bokhari collected a few of these Ahadith in his Book because there were a lot of FAKE Hadithes. RESULT: More than 95% of AHADITH HAVE BEEN DESTROYED and what we have now is just some ORAL words through this 100 Years including Fake Ahadith. Islam just have Quran which is really from God and we accept it (WITHOUT ANY DOUBT). It has all the God's words without any TAHRIF. But, it is a Book and doesn't contain all Details. 1 Book and a few accepted Ahadith "Originaly" from Prophet (pbuh) is not enough. So, this Religion (Islam) BASED on imprecise documents. So, Islam is not a good religion at all. Because it doesn't guide us directly to God orders. Like Jewish and Christianity. Dear Sunnis, Please tell us how we can reach to God orders?
