---

**bilal** is a CLI salah time.

## Features

- Everything works completely offline.
- Display all salah times for the current day.
- Show the current salah time and its remaining time.
- Display the next salah time.
- Use both 12-hour and 24-hour formats.
- Fancy error message

## Usage

```bash
bilal all Show all salahs time
bilal current ... current salah time
bilal current --json .... with JSON format
```

To configure Bilal, first create a file named `config.toml` in `~/.config/bilal/` on Unix-like systems. On Windows, place it under `\AppData\Bilal\`. If you prefer a custom location, simply set the `BILAL_CONFIG` environment variable.

Next, add your configuration details to the `config.toml` file:

```toml
latitude = -6.18233995
longitude = 106.84287154
madhab = "Shafi"
method = "Egyptian"
```

To see more options, please read the [wiki](docs/wiki.md)

## Integration with other programs

You can use Bilal with `i3status-rust` to show salah time in your status.

![i3status-rust-bilal](docs/i3status-rust.png)

![i3status-rust-bilal-urgent](docs/i3status-rust-urgent.png)

`i3status-rust` configuration Example:

```bash
[[block]]
block = "custom"
cycle = [
"bilal current -J",
"bilal next -J",
]
on_click = ""
interval = 300
json = true
```

See [more examples](examples/) to learn other variations.

If you like `bilal` to support your favourite status-bar, please open new issue
with the valid input of your status-bar. In i3status-rust
the valid input it would be `{"icon": "ICON", "state": "STATE", "text": "YOURTEXT"}`.
