Islam.ms Prayer Times & Qiblah

What is Islam.ms Prayer Times & Qiblah?

Islam.ms Prayer Times & Qiblah is a free Android application developed by Islam.ms that helps Muslims keep track of the five daily prayers and find the correct direction of the Kaaba. The app combines prayer‑time calculations, a compass‑based Qibla finder, and a few supplementary tools useful for everyday religious practice.

Main Features

• Accurate prayer times – The app calculates Salah times for any location using standard Islamic methods. Users can obtain times automatically via GPS or enter a city manually.
• Qibla direction – A built‑in compass points toward the Kaaba, and a map view shows the direction on a simple map.
• Adhan alerts – Optional sound notifications remind users of each prayer, with separate settings for early morning prayers.
• Offline functionality – Once the location is set, prayer times and Qibla direction work without an active internet connection.
• Widget support – A home‑screen widget can display the next prayer time at a glance.

How It Works

When the app starts, it asks for permission to access the device’s location. Using the coordinates, it selects an appropriate calculation method and generates the five daily prayer times. The Qibla feature relies on the device’s magnetic sensor; the compass is calibrated automatically, and the map view uses the same coordinates to draw a line toward Mecca.

Practical Uses

1. Set up a daily reminder for each prayer to stay punctual.
2. Use the Qibla compass when traveling or when Wi‑Fi is unavailable.
3. Place the widget on the home screen for quick reference during a busy day.

Installation Information

The app can be installed from the Google Play Store using the package name net.sunnite.qiblasalat. No additional files are required. After installation, grant location permission to enable automatic prayer‑time calculation.

Things to Know Before Installing

• The app is free to download and use; there are no mandatory in‑app purchases.
• It does not require an internet connection for core functions, but an initial location lookup may use network services.
• Battery usage is minimal, limited to occasional GPS checks and compass updates.

Who May Find It Useful?

Anyone looking for a straightforward, offline‑capable tool to track prayer times and determine Qibla direction will benefit from Islam.ms. The app is suitable for daily use, travel, and for users who prefer a lightweight solution without extensive extra features.
