MAWAQIT: Prayer, Mosque, Quran

What is MAWAQIT?

MAWAQIT is a free Android application designed for Muslims who want quick access to mosque locations, precise prayer schedules, and basic Quranic tools. Developed by the team behind the MAWAQIT brand, the app focuses on simplicity and reliability without displaying advertisements.

Main Features

• Nearby Mosque Finder – Use your device’s location services to discover mosques in your vicinity, or search by name, city or address.
• Accurate Prayer Times – Timetables are based on the schedules published by each mosque, ensuring they reflect the local Imam’s settings.
• Qibla Direction – A built‑in compass points toward the Kaaba, helping you orient yourself for prayer wherever you are.
• Ramadan Timings – During the holy month, the app shows Imsak (pre‑dawn) and Iftar (sunset) times according to the selected mosque.
• Hijri Calendar – View important Islamic dates such as Eid‑ul‑Fitr, Eid‑ul‑Adha and other events.

How It Works

After installing MAWAQIT, you can enable location permissions to let the app automatically locate the nearest mosques. Selecting a mosque displays its specific prayer timetable, including Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. You can also set optional notifications for each prayer, allowing a gentle reminder before the call to prayer.

Practical Uses

1. Traveling to a new city? Open the app, enable geolocation, and instantly see the closest mosque and its prayer schedule.
2. Preparing for Ramadan? Check daily Imsak and Iftar times for your preferred mosque without needing a separate calendar.
3. Need the Qibla direction while on the move? Use the compass feature to align yourself correctly for each prayer.
