My Prayer – Simple Prayer Times & Qibla

What is My Prayer?

My Prayer is a free Android application designed to help Muslims keep track of the five daily prayers. It uses the device’s location services to calculate prayer times according to a range of widely‑used calculation methods. The app also includes a Qibla compass, a basic Hijri‑Gregorian date converter, and optional notifications.

Main features

• Automatic prayer times – The app determines the user’s location via GPS or network and shows the times for Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha.
• Multiple calculation methods – Users can choose from several recognized methods (e.g., Umm Al‑Qura, Muslim World League, Egyptian General Authority) to match local practice.
• Qibla compass – A built‑in compass points toward the Kaaba, helping users find the correct direction for prayer wherever they are.
• Hijri/Gregorian converter – Quickly convert dates between the Islamic lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar.
• Notifications – Optional alerts remind users before each prayer; the tone can be customized with any audio file stored on the device.
• Widgets – Home‑screen widgets display today’s prayer schedule or a simple time‑until‑next‑prayer bar.

How it works

When launched, My Prayer requests permission to access the device’s location. Once granted, it fetches the latitude and longitude, applies the selected calculation method, and presents the daily schedule. Users can switch to manual location entry if they prefer not to share their exact position. The Qibla compass uses the same location data to calculate the bearing toward Mecca.

Practical uses

• Set up a silent mode automatically during prayer times to avoid interruptions.
• Use the widget for a quick glance at the next prayer without opening the app.
• Configure a custom Athan tone from personal audio files for a familiar call to prayer.

Installation information

My Prayer is available through the standard Android package installer. After downloading the APK, tap the file to begin installation. The app requires permission to access location and media files for custom tones. No additional setup steps are mandatory; the default settings work for most users.

Things to know before installing

• The app does not collect personal data beyond what is needed for location‑based calculations.
• All features are provided free of charge; there are no in‑app purchases.
• Because the app relies on location services, accuracy may vary in areas with weak GPS or network coverage.

Who may find it useful?

Anyone looking for a straightforward, ad‑free tool to track daily prayer times and locate the Qibla will benefit from My Prayer. It is especially handy for travelers who need to adjust prayer times quickly based on a new location.
