A month of prayer times on one sheet
A monthly prayer timetable answers a different question from a daily calculator. The daily question is what time is Fajr today. The monthly question is how the times move across the month, and whether the sheet on the wall still matches reality on the 28th. A printed month shows the drift: Fajr creeping earlier or later by a minute a day, Maghrib sliding the other way, and the fasting window stretching or shrinking.
The free Cubbbix Monthly Prayer Timetable builds that sheet for any city and month. Pick the city, the month and the method, and the page fills every day from the same sun-position calculation as the daily calculator. Print it from your browser, save it as a PDF from the print dialog, or download the CSV for a spreadsheet or a notice board.

What moves across a month
In Riyadh in October, Fajr moves from about 4:36 to about 4:40 across the month, and Maghrib moves from about 5:24 down to about 5:17. The changes look small day by day, but they add up to a real difference between the first week and the last. A sheet printed from memory or copied from last month will be wrong by several minutes by the end. A freshly calculated sheet will not.
Ramadan is the month where this matters most. The fasting window runs from Fajr to Maghrib, and both ends move every day. With Umm al-Qura, set Isha to 120 minutes after Maghrib for Ramadan instead of the usual 90. Fajr stays at 18.5 degrees. Those two settings give a Ramadan sheet that matches the official pattern, even though the sheet itself stays a calculated estimate.

How to use the sheet
Build the month, then check one day against a timetable you trust. A steady gap across all six columns points to the UTC offset. A gap in one column points to the method or the Asr school. Fix the field, rebuild, and print. Put the method name on the sheet if it goes on a notice board, so readers know what they are looking at and can check it themselves.
The CSV download serves a second use. Mosque committees and school offices can paste the month into a newsletter or a spreadsheet without retyping 186 numbers by hand. Retyping is where most timetable errors come from, and a download removes that step entirely.

Questions people ask
Is this sheet the official timetable?
No. It is calculated from the sun position using published method parameters. Expect a difference of a few minutes from an official calendar. Use the sheet for planning and your mosque timetable for congregational prayer.
Why does the whole month shift by one hour sometimes?
Daylight saving time. London and New York change their UTC offset during the year. If every time in the month is off by exactly one hour, the offset field is the cause.
