A visually beautiful and wholly convenient app that makes reading prayers and Writings even more joyful. The visuals are breathtaking and provide such a lovely calming background to reading the Holy Writings, the calendar of upcoming dates is super helpful for holy days, Feast, etc., and the verse collections feature helps me curate exactly what I’d like to return to again and again. It also makes my time spent programming for meetings or devotionals or Feast super convenient and quick.

This is amazing! The reminders, 95 Allah’u’Abha counter, Qiblih compass built in, reminder for the obligatory prayer you’ve chose to say! Not just prayers but reminders for daily reflections. You can also set up prayers for specific people, needs, moments. For sure my new default prayer app!
