Translations

English
They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about the phases of the moon. Say, “They are a means for people to determine time and pilgrimage.” Righteousness is not in entering your houses from the back doors. Rather, righteousness is to be mindful ˹of Allah˺. So enter your homes through their ˹proper˺ doors, and be mindful of Allah so you may be successful
اردو
آپ سے چاندوں کے متعلق پوچھتے ہیں کہہ دو یہ لوگوں کے لیے اور حج کے لیے وقت کے اندازے ہیں اور نیکی یہ نہیں ہے کہ تم گھروں میں ان کی پشت کی طرف سے آؤ اور لیکن نیکی یہ ہے کہ جو کوئی الله سے ڈرے اور تم گھروں میں ان کے دروازوں سے آؤ اور الله سے ڈرتے رہو تاکہ تم کامیاب ہو جاؤ
Bahasa Indonesia
Mereka bertanya kepadamu (Muhammad) tentang bulan sabit. Katakanlah, "itu adalah (penunjuk) waktu bagi manusia dan (ibadah) haji." Dan bukanlah suatu kebajikan memasuki rumah dari atasnya,65) tetapi kebajikan adalah (kebajikan) orang yang bertakwa. Masukilah rumah-rumah dari pintu-pintunya, dan bertakwalah kepada Allah agar kamu beruntung
Türkçe
Sana hilal halindeki ayları sorarlar. De ki: "Onlar, insanların ve hac vakitlerinin ölçüsüdür". Evlere arkalarından girmeniz iyilik değildir; iyi kimse kötülükten sakınan kimsedir. Evlere kapılarından girin; Allah'tan sakının ki muradınıza erersiniz
বাংলা
তোমার নিকট তারা জিজ্ঞেস করে নতুন চাঁদের বিষয়ে। বলে দাও যে এটি মানুষের জন্য সময় নির্ধারণ এবং হজ্বের সময় ঠিক করার মাধ্যম। আর পেছনের দিক দিয়ে ঘরে প্রবেশ করার মধ্যে কোন নেকী বা কল্যাণ নেই। অবশ্য নেকী হল আল্লাহকে ভয় করার মধ্যে। আর তোমরা ঘরে প্রবেশ কর দরজা দিয়ে এবং আল্লাহকে ভয় করতে থাক যাতে তোমরা নিজেদের বাসনায় কৃতকার্য হতে পার।

Ils t'interrogent sur les nouvelles lunes - Dis: «Elles servent aux gens pour compter le temps, et aussi pour le hajj [pèlerinage]. Et ce n'est pas un acte de bienfaisance que de rentrer chez vous par l'arrière des maisons. Mais la bonté pieuse consiste à craindre Allah. Entrez donc dans les maisons par leurs portes. Et craignez Allah, afin que vous réussissiez

Reading the times isn’t the same as making the jamaʿah.

Al Noor: Prayer Times & Qibla calls the adhan at your exact location, turns you to the qibla, and shows the jamaʿah times of the masjids around you — the times those masjids set themselves, not a calculation. Free to download on Google Play.

No account needed to pray on time. Prayer times, the qibla and anything you’ve saved keep working with no signal. Set it up once and the next adhan finds you — at home, at work, or in a city you’ve never prayed in before.

Everything inside

  • Adhan alarm for every salah
  • 23 calculation methods
  • Qibla, with the distance to Makkah
  • Nearby masjids on a live map
  • Jamaʿah times set by the masjid
  • Masjid events and programs
  • All 114 surahs, word by word
  • Translations in 16 languages
  • 65 reciters, downloadable
  • Ten hadith collections, each referenced
  • Hundreds of duas and daily adhkar
  • Qaza tracker with a monthly calendar

The times you just read were added by someone like you.

Every jamaʿah time in the app was put there by a worshipper — none of it is calculated. That is the only reason a traveller can walk into a masjid in a city they’ve never visited and still know when the iqamah stands.

Your masjid takes about a minute. Add its jamaʿah times in the app, or simply photograph the printed timetable on the wall and let the app read every prayer off it. If you help run the masjid, you can claim it and keep its schedule, facilities and events current yourself.

Then it keeps working without you. Someone you will never meet catches a jamaʿah they would have missed; a traveller prays in congregation instead of alone. InshaAllah those prayers are written for you too — a sadaqah jariyah that carries on long after you’ve closed the app.

“Whoever guides someone to good will have a reward like the one who does it.” — Sahih Muslim 1893

Masjids are added from inside the app — there’s no form on this website.

Free to download. Android now, iOS in development.
