How it works
After installing Deen, the app asks for permission to access the device’s location. This information is used to calculate local prayer times and to point the Qibla compass in the right direction. The main screen provides quick shortcuts to the most used sections: prayer times, Qibla, Qur’an, and daily duʿā. Users can tap any feature to open a dedicated view, scroll through content, and enable optional alerts such as a pre‑adhan reminder.
