Salam App: Muslim Companion

What is Salam App?

Salam App, developed by Salam Labs Inc., is a free Android companion designed for Muslims who want reliable Islamic resources on their device. The app brings together prayer‑time calculations, Quran access, hadith libraries and daily devotional tools in a single, privacy‑focused package.

Main Features

• Prayer times – Automatic location detection with multiple calculation methods and the ability to adjust times manually.
• Qibla compass – Simple direction finder that works offline.
• Quran reader – Offline access to the full text, multiple reading modes, translations, transliteration and tajwid support.
• Audio recitation – Built‑in player for Quran audio files, allowing users to listen while on the go.
• Hadith collections – Browse well‑known hadith books with search and bookmarking.
• Dhikr and Duas – Ready‑to‑use lists and the option to create personal collections.
• Prayer tracker – Log performed prayers and view daily statistics.
• Islamic calendar – Hijri dates, important events and a night‑time calculator.
• Widgets – Home‑screen and lock‑screen widgets for quick prayer‑time checks.
• Backup & restore – Preserve settings and personal data across installations.

How It Works

When the app starts, it requests permission to access the device’s location. Using that data it selects the appropriate prayer‑time method and displays the five daily prayers with an optional adhan reminder. Users can switch to the Quran section, choose a translation, and navigate verses with swipe gestures. The hadith library works offline, and audio files can be streamed or downloaded for later listening.

Practical Uses

• Quickly check today’s prayer schedule while traveling.
• Read or listen to the Quran during commutes without needing an internet connection.
• Find authentic hadith references for study or sermon preparation.
• Set personal dhikr or dua lists and receive gentle reminders.
• Use the Qibla compass in unfamiliar locations.

Installation Information

The app is available through the standard Android package manager. After downloading, follow the on‑screen prompts to grant location access and optional storage permission for backups. No additional configuration is required to start using the core features.

Things to Know Before Installing

• The app does not contain advertisements or tracking components.
• All core content (Quran text, hadith collections, prayer calculations) is stored locally after first use, so an internet connection is only needed for updates.
• Because the app is free, there is no in‑app purchase or subscription.

Who May Find It Useful?

Anyone looking for a consolidated Islamic toolkit on Android—students, travelers, daily worshippers, or anyone who prefers an ad‑free environment—will benefit from Salam App’s blend of prayer, Quran and hadith resources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an internet connection to use the Quran reader?

Only for the initial download of the text and any optional audio files. Once stored, the reader works completely offline.

Can I customize the prayer‑time calculation method?

Yes. The settings allow selection among several widely used methods and manual adjustments for local variations.

Is my personal data backed up?

The app includes a simple backup feature that saves preferences and saved lists to the device’s storage, which can be restored after a reinstall.
