Muslim Prayer – Qibla Compass

What is Muslim Prayer – Qibla Compass?

Muslim Prayer – Qibla Compass is a lightweight Android utility designed to help Muslims locate the direction of the Kaaba, view daily prayer times for their current location, and keep track of the Islamic Hijri calendar. Developed by Visionary AI, the app is offered free of charge and focuses on core religious functions without unnecessary clutter.

Main features

• Qibla finder – Uses the device’s built-in compass and location services to point accurately toward the Kaaba from anywhere.
• Prayer times – Calculates Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times based on the user’s geographic position.
• Hijri calendar – Displays the current Islamic date and highlights major events such as Ramadan and Eid.

How it works

When the app starts, it requests permission to access the device’s location. Once granted, it determines the latitude and longitude, then applies standard astronomical formulas to generate prayer times for the day. The Qibla compass combines the magnetic sensor data with the calculated bearing to the Kaaba, giving a real‑time directional arrow.

Practical uses

• Traveling: Quickly find the correct prayer direction in a new city or country.
• Daily routine: Check today’s prayer schedule without needing an internet connection after the initial location is set.
• Planning: Use the Hijri calendar to schedule fasting, prayers, and other religious observances.

Installation information

The app can be installed from the Google Play Store. After downloading, open the application and follow the on‑screen prompts to enable location services. No additional configuration is required for basic use.

Things to know before installing

• The app relies on the device’s GPS and magnetic sensor; accuracy may vary in indoor environments or near strong magnetic fields.
• It does not include Quran text, audio recitations, or live streaming features.
• All core functions work offline once the initial location is obtained.

Who may find it useful?

Anyone who needs a straightforward tool for determining Qibla direction, checking prayer times, or following the Hijri calendar—students, travelers, and daily worshippers alike—will benefit from this app’s focused design.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an internet connection?

Only for the first location lookup. After the coordinates are stored, the app can calculate times and Qibla direction offline.

Can I customize the prayer time calculation method?

The current version uses a standard method based on the user’s geographic location. Custom calculation methods are not available at this time.

Is the app safe to use?

It requests only location and sensor permissions required for its core functions. No personal data is transmitted beyond what is needed for location determination.
