Deen: Quran Prayer Time & Qibla

What is Deen?

Deen is a free Android application created by Nagorik that brings together essential Islamic tools in one place. It is designed for Muslims who want quick access to prayer times, Qibla direction, the Qur’an, and other daily religious resources without distractions.

Main features

• Prayer times – Accurate timings for the five daily prayers based on the user’s location, with optional notifications.
• Qibla finder – Compass‑based direction to the Kaaba, helping users orient themselves for prayer wherever they are.
• Qur’an reader – Full text of the Holy Qur’an with basic navigation; users can browse chapters and verses.

• Daily duʿā and reminders – A rotating set of supplications and short spiritual prompts to encourage regular worship.
• Hijri calendar – Islamic lunar calendar showing important dates and events.
• Digital tasbih – Simple counter for dhikr and other recitations.

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.

Practical uses

• Travelers can quickly find accurate prayer times for a new city.
• Students of the Qur’an can read verses offline without needing an internet connection.
• Anyone looking for a discreet digital tasbih can use the built‑in counter during personal worship.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an internet connection?

Only the initial download and occasional updates require internet. Once installed, prayer times, Qibla direction and Qur’an content work offline.

Can I customize prayer‑time notifications?

Yes, the settings allow you to enable or disable alerts and choose how many minutes before each prayer you wish to be reminded.

Is the Qibla compass accurate?

The compass uses the device’s built‑in sensors combined with the location data to point toward the Kaaba. Calibration may be needed for optimal accuracy.
