Salam: Quran & Azan – Free Islamic Companion

What is Salam?

Salam is a free Android application created by Royal Works that brings together essential Islamic tools in one place. It is designed for Muslims who want quick access to the Qur’an, accurate prayer schedules, Qibla orientation and a collection of daily remembrances, all without advertisements.

Main Features

• Qur’an recitation and audio – Browse the entire text and listen to a variety of reciters. Audio files can be saved for offline use.
• Prayer times – Automatic calculation of the five daily prayers based on your current location, with options to adjust calculation methods.
• Qibla finder – A compass‑style view that points directly toward the Kaaba from any point on the globe.
• Adhan alerts – Choose from several well‑known call‑to‑prayer recordings to receive timely reminders.
• Daily supplications – Collections of morning and evening dhikr, as well as special duʿās for common situations.
• Hadith library – Access to selected hadith texts from recognized collections.
• Hijri calendar – View the Islamic lunar calendar with highlighted holidays and events.

How It Works

After installing Salam, the app requests permission to access your device’s location. This enables the prayer‑time engine to compute schedules for your exact coordinates. The Qur’an section stores the text locally, so you can read or listen without an internet connection. The Qibla compass uses the device’s sensors to show the direction in real time.

Practical Uses

• Use the prayer‑time widget to glance at upcoming prayer times from the home screen.
• Listen to a reciter while commuting, even when offline.
• Check the Qibla direction before heading to the mosque.
• Incorporate the daily dhikr list into your morning routine.

Installation Information

Salam is distributed as a free APK through the Appitika store. The download size is modest, and the app does not require additional data after the initial installation, except for optional audio files that you may choose to download.

Things to Know Before Installing

• The app works on Android devices that support location services and a compass sensor.
• No in‑app purchases or advertisements are present.
• All content is provided offline after the first launch; an internet connection is only needed for optional updates.

Who May Find It Useful?

Anyone looking for a straightforward, ad‑free Islamic utility on Android – from daily commuters to students and travelers – will benefit from Salam’s integrated features.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the Adhan sound?

Yes, the app includes several recordings, and you can select the one you prefer in the settings.

Does Salam track my location continuously?

The app accesses location when calculating prayer times or displaying the Qibla. It does not run a background location service when not in use.
