Integrate Prayer Times into Ansari #8

Difficulty: Medium Est time: 20 hours

PyIslam provides excellent support for prayer time calculation in Python. However, integrating it is a bit tricky because

It needs additional information (at least the person's location)
There are options like the madhab etc

Once we have support for use of function templates the goal of this project would be to integrate prayer times into the Ansari experience.

How will the Prayer time contribute to the chatbot? is there any range of questions you're trying to cover? I will try working on this one.

Thank you for volunteering!

This would be a new tool (alongside search_quran and search_hadith). It would have a function schema that is basically:

Location
Date

Given this it would return a string: fajr shurooq thuhr asr maghrib isha .

The idea is that it would use the pyislam library (https://github.com/abougouffa/pyIslam)

Salam everyone,

I believe the main reason users visit ansari.chat is to ask questions about Islam. With that in mind, I suggest we focus our efforts on improving the quality of answers and the overall user experience. I'd like to close this issue to help organize the repo better. If anyone disagrees, please feel free to reopen it.

May Allah reward you!

I understand this perspective. However, we have explicit user feedback requesting it, so unclosing this.
