A free Android app that provides prayer times, Qibla direction and basic Islamic tools, helping you stay on schedule and oriented.
What is Muslim: Prayer, Qibla Finder?
Muslim: Prayer, Qibla Finder is a free Android application developed by Goldlab Pro. It is designed to give Muslims a straightforward way to keep track of daily prayer times and to locate the direction of the Kaaba (Qibla) wherever they are. The app focuses on core functionalities without extra frills, making it a practical companion for everyday worship.
Main features
- Prayer time schedule – The app calculates the five daily prayer times based on the user’s location. It updates automatically as the device’s location changes.
- Qibla compass – An on‑screen compass points toward the Kaaba, helping users face the correct direction for prayer, whether at home or while traveling.
- Azan notifications – Optional alerts can be set for each prayer, allowing users to receive a gentle reminder before the time begins.
- Simple interface – The layout is clean and easy to navigate, with large icons and readable fonts suitable for all ages.
How it works
When the app is opened for the first time, it asks for permission to access the device’s location. Using that data, it determines the appropriate prayer times for the current day based on standard Islamic calculation methods. The Qibla feature then uses the same location data combined with the known coordinates of the Kaaba to draw a directional arrow on the screen.
Practical uses
- Daily routine – Set a quiet reminder for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, or Isha to stay punctual without checking a separate schedule.
- Travel – When you are away from home, the automatic location update instantly recalculates prayer times and Qibla direction, removing the need for manual adjustments.
- Learning tool – The visual Qibla compass can be a helpful teaching aid for children learning how to orient themselves for prayer.
Installation information
The app can be installed from the Google Play Store using the package name com.prayertimes.qiblafinder.muslim.android2023. Because it is free, there is no purchase required. After installation, grant location access to enable the core features.
Things to know before installing
- The app relies on location services; disabling GPS or location permissions will prevent prayer time calculations and Qibla direction.
- It does not include a Quran text, hadith collection, or additional Islamic resources – its scope is limited to prayer times and Qibla.
- There are no in‑app purchases or ads reported at the time of writing, but users should review the permissions list after installation.
Who may find it useful?
Anyone who wants a lightweight, dedicated tool for prayer scheduling and Qibla orientation will benefit from this app. It is especially suitable for users who prefer a simple interface without extra multimedia features.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an internet connection?
Only the initial download requires internet. After installation, the app uses the device’s GPS to calculate times locally, so it works offline.
Can I change the calculation method for prayer times?
The current version provides a default method based on widely accepted standards. Custom calculation settings are not offered at this time.
Is the Qibla direction accurate?
It uses the device’s GPS and the known coordinates of the Kaaba, which provides a reasonable level of accuracy for most everyday purposes.
