Muslim wrist watch
Muslim wrist watch differ from European ones in additional functions and special calculation capabilities that allow believers to accurately determine the time.
Peculiarities
- In Islam, there is a certain tradition of creating watches. Before the advent of modern tools and construction methods, the current hour was determined by the sun. Eastern sages could easily set the time and correct the inaccuracies of the time frame. But that's in the past.
- The first watch that showed the exact time and had the symbolism of Islam, called al Jazari. The mechanism worked due to water flows. The indications of the arrows on them changed along with the image. In the daytime, the disk of the sun and the six signs of the Zodiac were illuminated.
- Then there were mechanical watches., which had separate degrees and minutes scales. Hence the love for additional dials from modern manufacturers.
- The main models produced by Muslim brands are wristwatches. Their features include the display of prayer times for each city in the world. If the desired city is not in the program, then its coordinates can be entered manually - the mechanism will immediately indicate the exact time of prayers.
- The ability to automatically determine and remind you of the time of prayer - a necessity for a modern Muslim, which is why this function is available in both men's and women's watches.
- Islamic chronometer models notify Muslims of the time of the call to Nazam. Remarkably, the notification interval is configured manually, after which the automatic mode is turned on.
- The clock indicates the exact location of the qibla (the direction in which the sacred Kaaba is located). It is necessary for the fivefold worship. These prayers are daily, therefore they are an integral part of the life of any Muslim. During prostrations, Arabic mechanisms indicate the correct location of the cubic building, where to look.
Models
Most even European manufacturers produce series specifically for Eastern believers. We will consider them below.
Al Fajr
They show the time of prayer, calculate the kibilah anywhere in the world. Orientation takes place according to the sunny location and the north side. So, Islam has its own calendar called Hijri, which means that not everyone follows the European calculus. That is why most mechanisms are equipped with a pair of calendars.
The same clock displays data about the Koran. The name of the suras and the number of prayers, on which the believer stopped last time, are entered into the mechanism itself. The course of time and its definition are particularly accurate in all models, they are chronometers. Their accuracy is 0.1 seconds.
