WeMuslim – Prayer Times, Qibla, Quran & Azkar

What is WeMuslim?

WeMuslim is a free Android utility designed to support everyday Islamic practice. It combines prayer‑time calculations, a Qibla compass, a Quran reader and a collection of daily supplications (Azkar) into a single, easy‑to‑use interface.

Main Features

• Prayer Times – Calculates the five daily prayers based on your current location. You can set individual Athan alerts to remind you before each prayer.
• Qibla Compass – A built‑in compass points toward the Kaaba in Mecca, helping you find the correct direction for prayer wherever you are.
• Quran Reader – Displays the Arabic text of the Quran with chapter (Surah) bookmarks and automatic progress saving, so you can pick up where you left off.
• Azkar Library – Provides a curated list of daily morning and evening supplications, as well as other authentic invocations, with simple repeat controls.
• Electronic Tasbih – A virtual bead counter lets you keep track of dhikr without needing a physical tasbih.
• Hijri Calendar – Switches between the Islamic (Hijri) and Gregorian calendars and highlights important Islamic dates.

How It Works

When you first launch the app, it requests permission to access your device’s location. This information is used solely to compute accurate prayer times for your area. You can adjust calculation methods, select a preferred time‑zone offset, and customize the Athan sound for each prayer.

The Qibla feature uses the device’s magnetic sensor together with your location to show a real‑time bearing toward the Kaaba. A simple tap on the compass screen aligns the direction arrow.

For Quran reading, the app stores your last‑read verse locally, so opening the reader again returns you to the same spot. You can navigate by Surah number or by using the built‑in search.

Practical Uses

• Set up morning and evening Athan alerts to stay on schedule for Fajr and Maghrib.
• Use the Qibla compass while traveling or when indoor GPS signals are weak.
• Read the Quran during commutes, with progress saved automatically.
• Perform daily Azkar with a single tap, using the repeat counter to keep track of repetitions.
• Switch to the Hijri calendar to plan for Ramadan, Eid and other Islamic events.

Installation Information

The app is available as a free download from the Google Play Store. Installation follows the standard Android process: tap “Install,” grant location permission when prompted, and the app will be ready to use.

Things to Know Before Installing

• The app may use a foreground service for continuous location updates and for playing audio (e.g., Athan sounds). This ensures reminders work even when the app is not visible.
• Data charges can apply if you enable background audio downloads or if the app syncs content over a mobile network. Using Wi‑Fi can help avoid extra costs.
• No personal data is required beyond location for prayer‑time calculation; the app does not request contacts, SMS or phone‑state permissions.

Who May Find It Useful?

Muslims who want a single, lightweight tool for daily worship activities will benefit from WeMuslim. It is especially handy for travelers, students, and anyone who prefers digital alternatives to traditional prayer‑time tables, physical tasbih beads, or printed Qurans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an internet connection?

Location‑based prayer times require a network connection for the initial lookup, but once calculated they can be stored locally. The Qibla compass works offline after the first location fix.

Can I change the Athan sound?

Yes. The settings screen includes a list of built‑in sounds and an option to select a custom audio file from your device.

Is the Quran text the standard Arabic edition?

The reader displays the widely used Arabic text, matching the Saudi Medina edition commonly referenced in printed copies.

How does the tasbih counter work?

Tap the on‑screen button to increment the count. A long press resets the counter, allowing you to start a new dhikr session quickly.
