Free tool for Islamic prayer times and direction
Athan: Prayer Times & Qibla Finder is a free-to-use reference tool from Islamicfinder.org. This prayer app caters to two specific needs of the Muslim faithful. First is in giving them timely access to the athan, which is the Islamic call to prayer played at certain times of the day. Next is that it provides the qibla, or the direction of the Kaaba to which Muslims turn to during prayer.
With these two features, Muslim users of Athan: Prayer Times & Qibla Finder will never miss another prayer time. Also try Al Hadith or Quran for Android.
Timing and direction for Muslims everywhere
Athan: Prayer Times & Qibla Finder is designed to help Muslims everywhere with the timing and direction of the prayers. In the Islamic faith, the adhan or athan is the call to prayer, typically recited by a designated announcer at specific times each day. Qibla refers to the direction of the Kaaba, a stone structure at the center of the faith’s most important mosque, where all Muslims face when praying.
The app functions by syncing with your device's time and calendar to determine prayer times. It also uses your phone’s location tracking to determine the qibla. When it's time for the athan, the app automatically plays the complete call to prayer. It also displays an in-app compass to guide you in facing the sacred direction during prayers, and offers both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats for user convenience.
Designed to support the faithful everywhere in the world, the app allows you to choose your location and offers a limited selection of athan to be played on your device. You also can adjust the app volume to your liking. Additionally, the app provides extra features, such as Quran recitations and a photo gallery featuring notable spots in the Islamic world for added reference.
Don't miss daily prayers
Overall, Athan: Prayer Times & Qibla Finder is a great app to have, especially for Muslims who do not have the luxury of hearing the athan being broadcasted from mosques. It offers a portable alternative to make sure you don't miss the daily prayers. Additionally, the app has a lot of features that make the experience a lot more personalized: volume, the type of athan, and even a compass that points the Kaaba's direction.
