Miqat – Prayer Times & Adhan

What is Miqat?

Miqat is a free Android application developed by Kira LLC that calculates daily Islamic prayer times based on your location. It also offers a range of Adhan audio options so you can be reminded of each prayer in the way that suits you best.

Main Features

• Accurate prayer calculations using multiple recognized methods, allowing you to select the one that matches your local community.
• Full‑length Adhan recordings from several well‑known reciters, with the ability to choose a different voice for each prayer.
• Customizable alerts – select a full Adhan, a short tone, or a silent visual reminder for any prayer.
• Lock‑screen notifications for Fajr, ensuring you see the reminder even before the device is unlocked.
• Offline operation – all calculations are performed on the device using your GPS coordinates, so no internet connection or account is required.

How It Works

When you open Miqat, the app reads your current location and applies the selected calculation method to generate the five daily prayer times. The times are stored locally, and the app updates them automatically as you move to a new location. You can also adjust each prayer by a few minutes if you need to align with a nearby mosque’s schedule.

Practical Uses

1. Set a preferred Adhan voice for each prayer to create a personal reminder routine.
2. Use the silent visual mode in environments where sound is not appropriate, such as work or public transport.
3. Rely on the lock‑screen Fajr alert to wake up for the pre‑dawn prayer without needing a separate alarm app.

Installation Information

Miqat is available as a free download from the Google Play Store. After installation, grant the app permission to access your device’s location so it can calculate prayer times accurately. No additional sign‑in or account setup is required.

Things to Know Before Installing

• The app needs location access; without it, prayer times cannot be generated.
• Battery‑optimisation settings on some devices may restrict background notifications. You may need to whitelist Miqat if you want alerts to fire reliably, especially for early‑morning prayers.

Who May Find It Useful?

Anyone looking for a straightforward, offline solution to track Islamic prayer times and receive customizable Adhan alerts will benefit from Miqat. It is particularly handy for travelers, students, and professionals who need reliable reminders without relying on an internet connection.
