يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌۭ فَٱسْتَمِعُوا۟ لَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَن يَخْلُقُوا۟ ذُبَابًۭا وَلَوِ ٱجْتَمَعُوا۟ لَهُۥ ۖ وَإِن يَسْلُبْهُمُ ٱلذُّبَابُ شَيْـًۭٔا لَّا يَسْتَنقِذُوهُ مِنْهُ ۚ ضَعُفَ ٱلطَّالِبُ وَٱلْمَطْلُوبُ ٧٣

Translations

English
O humanity! A lesson is set forth, so listen to it ˹carefully˺: those ˹idols˺ you invoke besides Allah can never create ˹so much as˺ a fly, even if they ˹all˺ were to come together for that. And if a fly were to snatch anything away from them, they cannot ˹even˺ retrieve it from the fly. How powerless are those who invoke and those invoked
اردو
اے لوگو ایک مثال بیان کی جاتی ہے اسے کان لگا کر سنو جنہیں تم الله کے سوا پکارتے ہو وہ ایک مکھی بھی نہیں بنا سکتے اگرچہ وہ سب اس کے لیے جمع ہوجائیں اور اگر ان سے مکھی کوئی چیز چھین لے تو اسے مکھی سے چھڑا نہیں سکتے عابد اور معبود دونوں ہی عاجز ہیں
Bahasa Indonesia
Wahai manusia! Telah dibuat suatu perumpamaan. Maka dengarkanlah! Sesungguhnya segala yang kamu seru selain Allah tidak dapat menciptakan seekor lalat pun, walaupun mereka bersatu untuk menciptakannya. Dan jika lalat itu merampas sesuatu dari mereka, mereka tidak akan dapat merebutnya kembali dari lalat itu. Sama lemahnya yang menyembah dan yang di sembah
Türkçe
Ey insanlar! Bir misal verilmektedir, şimdi onu dinleyin: Sizlerin Allah'ı bırakıp taptıklarınız bir araya gelseler, bir sinek bile yaratamıyacaklardır. Sinek onlardan bir şey kapsa, onu kurtaramazlar; isteyen de, istenen de aciz
বাংলা
হে লোক সকল! একটি উপমা বর্ণনা করা হলো, অতএব তোমরা তা মনোযোগ দিয়ে শোন; তোমরা আল্লাহর পরিবর্তে যাদের পূজা কর, তারা কখনও একটি মাছি সৃষ্টি করতে পারবে না, যদিও তারা সকলে একত্রিত হয়। আর মাছি যদি তাদের কাছ থেকে কোন কিছু ছিনিয়ে নেয়, তবে তারা তার কাছ থেকে তা উদ্ধার করতে পারবে না, প্রার্থনাকারী ও যার কাছে প্রার্থনা করা হয়, উভয়েই শক্তিহীন।
Français
O hommes! Une parabole vous est proposée, écoutez-la: «Ceux que vous invoquez en dehors d'Allah ne sauraient même pas créer une mouche, quand même ils s'uniraient pour cela. Et si la mouche les dépouillait de quelque chose, ils ne sauraient le lui reprendre. Le solliciteur et le sollicité sont [également] faibles!»

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.
