Abdelrahman Bayoumi

Abdelrahman Bayoumi is an independent Windows developer whose compact GitHub portfolio is anchored by Azkar, a quietly popular desktop utility that turns the Muslim daily prayer cycle into unobtrusive desktop companionship. Written in C#, the program calculates precise prayer times for any city through multiple juristic methods, then overlays a rotating tray of Arabic-and-English Azkar—morning, evening and post-prayer supplications—that fade in as toast notifications at user-defined intervals. A minimalist calendar view highlights upcoming prayer moments, while a tiny system-tray icon doubles as a silent muezzin that can fade the volume of ongoing media when the hour arrives. The same codebase is reused to ship a portable, single-exe build that needs no elevation and remembers every custom latitude, madhhab and notification offset in a local JSON file, making it equally at home on a work laptop, a mosque media box or a family PC shared across time-zones. Although Azkar is the sole published Windows title to date, its disciplined update cadence and MIT licensing have spawned community forks that add Quran recitation, Hijri date conversion and dark-mode skins, hinting at the author’s broader interest in faith-centric productivity tools. Azkar by Abdelrahman Bayoumi is available for free on get.nero.com, where the latest version can be pulled through trusted Windows package sources such as winget and installed individually or alongside other utilities in a single batch operation.
