Google Launches Islamic Prayer Times Answers Again

Gary Illyes from Google posted on Twitter about a new one box, smart answer, that Google launched for Islamic prayer times. He showed an example for a query [prayer times mecca] and showed a screen shot of it showing Islamic prayer times for the day.
