How it works

After installing the app, users can select their preferred language from the settings menu. The main screen provides quick access to the Qur'an, the supplication books and the prayer‑time widget. Location services are used only for calculating prayer times and the Qibla direction; the app does not require any additional permissions beyond what is standard for these functions.

Practical uses

• Read the Qur'an on the go with adjustable font size.
• Find specific duʿās quickly using the built‑in search.
• Stay aware of prayer times wherever you are, with optional audible alerts.
• Use the Qibla compass during travel or when a mosque is not nearby.
• Reference the Hijri calendar for religious observances and personal planning.

Installation information

The application is distributed as a free download from the Android marketplace. It installs directly to the device’s internal storage, with an option to move the data to an external SD card if the device supports it.

Things to know before installing

• The app does not contain any advertising or in‑app purchases.
• All texts are provided in their traditional Arabic script; transliteration or translation is not included.
• Internet connectivity is only required for the initial download and for optional updates.

Who may find Divine Pearls useful?

Anyone looking for a lightweight, offline‑ready collection of core Islamic texts and basic worship tools will benefit from Divine Pearls. It is especially handy for travelers, students and anyone who prefers a single app rather than juggling multiple resources.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an internet connection to use the Qur'an or supplication books?

No. All texts are stored locally after the first installation, so you can read them offline.

Can I customize the Azan alert sound?

The app uses the system default notification sound; custom sounds are not currently supported.

Is the Qibla direction accurate?

The compass relies on the device’s built‑in sensors and the current GPS location, providing a reasonable approximation for most users.
