Prayer Time Alerts on Twitch: A Unique TheebBot Feature

Prayer Time Alerts: A Feature Built for Muslim Streamers

No other Twitch bot in the world offers automatic prayer time alerts. TheebBot added this feature by popular request from the Arabic streaming community, and it has become one of the most loved features on the platform.

Here is everything you need to know about how it works and how to set it up.

The !prayer Command

Any viewer — or you — can type !prayer [city] in chat to get the next prayer times for that location.

Examples

!prayer Dubai

Response:

Prayer times in Dubai — Fajr: 04:29 | Dhuhr: 12:27 | Asr: 15:52 | Maghrib: 19:21 | Isha: 20:51

!prayer Cairo

Prayer times in Cairo — Fajr: 04:12 | Dhuhr: 12:06 | Asr: 15:38 | Maghrib: 19:03 | Isha: 20:32

Works for any city in the world — not just Arab cities. Muslim viewers in London, Berlin, or Toronto can use it too.

Automatic Chat Alerts

Instead of relying on viewers to ask, you can enable automatic alerts that trigger at the exact prayer time:

1.Open your TheebBot dashboard

2.Go to Prayer Times

3.Select your city and preferred calculation method

4.Enable automatic announcements

5.Write your custom alert message (or use the default)

When prayer time arrives during your stream, the bot sends the alert automatically — no action required from you.

Example Alert Message

It's Dhuhr time! Time for a quick prayer break. BRB in 10 minutes.

You can customize this message however you like.

Supported Cities

TheebBot supports any city worldwide by name. Popular regions:

Calculation Methods

Different Islamic authorities use slightly different calculation methods. TheebBot supports all major standards:

• Umm al-Qura (Saudi Arabia) — used in KSA and recommended for Gulf region
• Egyptian General Authority of Survey — standard for Egypt and North Africa
• Muslim World League — widely used internationally
• University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi — South Asian standard
• ISNA (North America) — used by Muslim communities in the US and Canada
• Diyanet (Turkey) — Turkish government standard

Select whichever method your community follows.

Why This Feature Matters

Respect and Community

Acknowledging prayer times shows respect for your audience's faith. Viewers deeply appreciate this small gesture, and it creates a stronger sense of community between streamer and audience.

Practical for Longer Streams

On marathon streams, prayer time alerts serve as natural break points. Instead of abruptly going AFK, you have an announced pause that the whole community understands.

Completely Unique

This feature simply does not exist on Nightbot, StreamElements, or any other major bot. It was built specifically for TheebBot's Arabic streaming audience.
