Riyadh, after the Fajr adhan

Prayer, Quran and adhkar, on iPhone

Prayer times worked out on your phone with no connection, the Mushaf as it was printed, the Qibla and the Hijri calendar, in Arabic and English.

Coming soon to the App Store

The app’s Today screen at 5:15 AM in Riyadh: Dhuhr is the next prayer, with the time left and the sun’s path through the day.

Pages 3 and 4

The Mushaf, as it was printed.

Its pages in the print’s own script and ornament, turned like a book. On an open iPhone Duo, two pages face each other, as in the Mushaf in your hands.

An open iPhone Duo with pages 3 and 4 of the Mushaf facing each other, the app in Arabic.
Page 3 of the Mushaf, whole, on iPhone, the app in Arabic.

Recitation on the Mushaf page, verse by verse.

The verse being recited is highlighted on the page. A double tap enlarges the verses so you can follow word by word, and you can keep a surah on your phone to listen offline.

Page 3 of the Mushaf with a recitation playing, the recited verse highlighted and a small player at the bottom.
The player: Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 7 of 286, with the reciter’s photograph.

The Qibla, wherever you are.

A compass that settles when you face the Ka’bah, and a globe with the shortest way to Mecca. It works offline from your last place.

The Qibla compass in Riyadh: 244° from true north, 790 km to the Ka’bah.

A tasbih with beads, and a Hijri calendar with each night’s moon.

Count with a tap anywhere on the screen, undo a tap or start a new count. The calendar shows your day in Hijri and Gregorian, and tonight’s moon with how much of it is lit. The morning and evening adhkar are there too, one at a time, each with its reference.

The Hijri calendar for Jumada al-Akhirah 1448, the 4th selected, tonight’s moon a waxing crescent.

Six themes, in light and dark appearance.

A theme colours the whole app. The whole app is in Arabic and English, each in its own direction.

The Colours settings in light appearance: the six themes and the prayer-time colours.
The same Colours settings in dark appearance.

The next prayer, and the time left before it.

Times are worked out on your phone by one of 24 methods, Umm al-Qura among them. The app, its Home Screen widgets and its Lock Screen countdown all read the same schedule.

  1. Maghrib
  2. Isha

  1. Before Maghrib

    Maghrib in 26 minutes, and the sun’s path shows where you are in your day.

  2. After Isha

    Choose the prayer-time colours and the whole app takes the colour of the hour.

The Today screen at 4:40 PM: Maghrib in 26 minutes, the sun low on its path.
The Today screen with prayer-time colours at 7:05 PM: a night sky, with Fajr next.

Surah Al-Mulk, verses 1 to 5

Recite from memory, and the app listens.

The verses are hidden. You recite from memory, the words appear as the app hears them, and anything it missed is marked for you to check. The listening happens on your phone.

Hear me recite, before starting: verses 1 to 5 of Surah Al-Mulk hidden.
The same session halfway through: verse 3 shown, verse 4 waiting, and one place to check.

No account, no tracking and no ads in the app.

Everything you record in the app stays on your phone, except what you choose to save in Apple Health, the error reports you choose to send and the invite link you choose to make.
