Muslim Prayer Times & Qibla – Free Android Islamic Companion

What is Muslim Prayer Times & Qibla?

Muslim Prayer Times & Qibla is a free Android application developed by Qibla Compass & Prayer Times. It is designed to help Muslims keep track of daily prayer times, locate the direction of the Kaaba, and access core Islamic resources such as the Quran and a simple dhikr counter.

Main features

• Prayer schedule – Calculates the five daily prayer times based on the user’s location and offers customizable alarm reminders.
• Qibla finder – Uses the device’s GPS to show the exact direction toward Mecca, with an optional camera overlay for visual guidance.
• Quran reader – Provides the full text of the Quran with basic navigation, bookmarking and optional translations.
• Dhikr counter – A digital tasbih that lets users count personal supplications or recitations.
• Widget support – A home‑screen widget that displays the next prayer time and the current Hijri date.

How it works

After installing the app, it requests permission to access the device’s location. This information is used to compute prayer times according to widely accepted calculation methods and to point the Qibla compass accurately. Users can adjust the calculation method, choose a preferred adhan sound, and set reminder intervals for each prayer.

Practical uses

1. Set up automatic alerts so you never miss a prayer, even when you are traveling.
2. Use the Qibla compass before heading to a mosque or while praying outdoors.
3. Read the Quran on the go, with the ability to bookmark your place and switch between available translations.
4. Track personal dhikr counts throughout the day.
5. Place the widget on your home screen for a quick glance at upcoming prayer times and the Islamic calendar.

Installation information

The app is distributed as a free download from the Google Play Store. Installation follows the standard Android process: tap “Install,” grant location permission when prompted, and launch the app to begin configuration.

Things to know before installing

• The application requires location services to calculate prayer times and Qibla direction.

Who may find it useful?

Anyone looking for a straightforward tool to manage daily prayers, determine the Qibla, or read the Quran on an Android device will benefit from this app. It is especially handy for travelers, students, and anyone who prefers a single app that combines essential Islamic utilities.
