The Governorate codes are as follows: Capital (CA), Muharraq (MU), Central (CE), North (NO), South (SO), and the days of the week codes from Saturday to Friday are: (SAT), (SUN), (MON), (TUE), (WED), (THU), (FRI).
Moreover, the Islamic events in the Kingdom can be found on the eGovernment Portal or through SMS by sending the following codes: , for example: when sending SMS with the code RLG 7, you receive a table of the timings of preaching sessions that take place after the "Taraweeh" prayer on that day. You can use the same method by replacing (RLG) with (EMS) to find out the timings of fasting and breaking (Emsak & Iftar) for that day and the day right after.
