Deen – Islamic App

What is Deen?

Deen is a free Android application created by Mahedi Hasan that brings together a range of Islamic resources. It is designed to help Muslims manage daily worship, study the Qur’an, and access practical tools such as a Qibla compass, Zakat calculator and mosque finder, all from one place.

Main features

• Prayer times – Accurate five‑daily prayer schedules based on the user’s location, with notifications for each prayer.
• Ramadan helper – Daily Suhoor and Iftar times that adjust automatically to the user’s city.
• Qur’an reader – Full text of the Qur’an with audio recitations, translation options and bookmarking.
• Hifz tracker – A simple progress monitor for those memorising verses, allowing tracking by Surah, Ayah or Juz.
• Hadith collection – Access to authentic narrations from the major collections (Bukhari, Muslim, etc.).
• Dua library – A categorized list of supplications with Arabic text and meanings.
• Qibla compass – Real‑time direction to the Kaaba using GPS.
• Tasbih counter – Digital bead counter for dhikr, with optional notes.
• Zakat calculator – Simple tool to estimate Zakat based on current assets.
• Hijri calendar – Islamic dates and major events displayed alongside the Gregorian calendar.
• Mosque locator – Map‑based search for nearby masjids.

How it works

After installing Deen, the app requests permission to access the device’s location. This enables it to compute prayer times, Qibla direction and nearby mosques automatically. Users can customize notification preferences, choose between light and dark themes, and select the language that best suits them.

Practical uses

• Set up timely reminders for each of the five daily prayers.
• Listen to Qur’an recitation while commuting, and bookmark verses for later study.
• Find accurate Suhoor and Iftar times during Ramadan without manual calculations.
• Use the built‑in tasbih to keep track of dhikr during worship.
• Calculate Zakat obligations quickly before the annual deadline.
• Locate the nearest mosque when traveling or after moving to a new area.

Who may find Deen useful?

Anyone looking for a consolidated Islamic toolkit on Android will benefit—from students learning the Qur’an to professionals needing reliable prayer alerts, and families seeking a convenient source for Dua and Hadith.

Things to know before installing

• The app is free and does not require a subscription.
• It relies on location services for several features; disabling location will limit prayer‑time accuracy and mosque search.
• All content is stored locally after the initial download, so an internet connection is only needed for updates.
