You’re entry should look like this. Enter your latitude and longitude where you see it in the code posted below. Also, change language: config.language, to your language. See below. And last, you need a comma to close the last curly quote. }, See below. You can copy and paste the code below and make the changes I have shown.

{
		module: 'MMM-PrayerTime',
		position: 'top_left',	// This can be any of the regions. Best result is in the top_left/top_right.
		config: {
			apiVersion: '1.0', // please, leave unchanged. reserved for future use.
			lat: 41.123456, // latitude of your position (city)
			lon: -71.123456, // longitude of your position (city)
			timezone: false, // please refer to http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
			timeFormat: 24,
			method: 5,
			playAdzan: ['fajr', 'dhuhr', 'asr', 'maghrib', 'isha'],
			notDisplayed: ['midnight', 'sunset'],
			useUpdateInterval: true,
			updateInterval: 86400 * 1000, // How often do you want to fetch new praying time? (milliseconds)
			animationSpeed: 2.5 * 1000, // Speed of the update animation. (milliseconds)
			language: "en",
			showAdzanAlert: true,
			alertTimer: 15000
		}
	},

Then take a moment to read this link that explains how to add modules to your config file.

@alpha-waringga

The config entry itself tells you:

timezone: false, // please refer to http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php

So, go to that site and find your location, and how it is written. In my case it would be America/New_York. I’m assuming the entry should now be:

timezone: "America/New_York",

@mykle1 The time different is huge like 40 minutes different. i think the issue is due to the summer/sinter time.
