🌙 Prayer Times

A versatile Bash script designed to manage and display Islamic prayer times. It retrieves prayer schedules based on the user's geographical coordinates and provides notifications for each prayer. The script supports multiple languages and integrates seamlessly with notification daemons like dunst and mako.

Inspired by Nofarah Tech's prayer times scripts, this version also includes added support for status bars like Waybar and integrated desktop notifications.
