Miqat – Prayer Times & Qibla

What is Miqat?

Miqat is a free Android utility created by ZenCraft Ltd for Muslims who want accurate prayer timings and a quick way to locate the Qibla direction. The app focuses on simplicity and privacy, providing the core functions you need without ads or unnecessary data collection.

Main features

• Prayer time calculations – Uses standard astronomical methods to generate daily prayer times based on your location.
• Qibla compass – Shows the direction to the Kaaba with a clear visual indicator.
• Offline operation – Once the location is set, the app works without an internet connection.
• Customizable alerts – Choose sound, vibration or silent notifications for each prayer.
• Lock‑screen reminders – A minimal overlay appears when a prayer time arrives, allowing you to dismiss or snooze.

How it works

When you first open Miqat, it asks for permission to access your device’s location. The app then determines the appropriate calculation method for your region and generates the five daily prayer times. These times are stored locally, so the app can continue to notify you even if you lose network connectivity or restart the device.

Practical uses

1. Set up the app once and rely on it for daily reminders, even while traveling.
2. Use the Qibla compass during prayer or when you need to orient yourself quickly.
3. Adjust alert tones or switch to vibration when you are in a quiet environment.

Installation information

Miqat is available through the standard Android package name com.miqat.app. Install it from a trusted source, grant location permission, and you are ready to receive prayer times.

Things to know before installing

• The app does not require an account or internet connection after the initial setup.
• All data stays on the device; no telemetry or third‑party tracking is included.
• Because the app is free, there are no in‑app purchases or hidden fees.

Who may find Miqat useful?

Anyone looking for a straightforward, ad‑free solution for prayer scheduling and Qibla direction on Android devices. It is especially handy for users who travel frequently or prefer offline functionality.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an internet connection?

Only for the initial location detection. After that, all calculations and alerts run locally.

Can I change the calculation method?

Miqat selects a method based on your region automatically, but you can switch to a different standard in the settings if you prefer.

Is my personal data collected?

No. The app stores only the minimal data required for location and timing, and it remains on your device.
