Quran: Prayer Timings & Qibla, with you wherever you are
All 114 surahs and 6,236 ayahs, 175 translations, the whole recitation by Mishary Rashid al-Afasy, prayer timings and the Qibla, and every bit of it already on your phone. Open it where there is no signal at all, and the Quran is still there, whole.
Free, and on its way to Google Play
Put it on your phone today
The app is with Google now and will be on the Play store shortly. Until then you can have it straight from this site: the same file, the same version, signed with the same key. Three steps, and none of them asks you for anything.
- Download the app
One file, straight from this site. Use Wi-Fi: the whole Quran, every translation and the complete recitation are inside it, so it is a large download once and nothing at all afterwards.
- Let your browser install it
Android asks once whether this browser may install apps. That prompt is Android's, not ours, and it is the ordinary way to install an app that did not come from a store.
- Open it
That is all. It never asks for an account, and it works with no signal from the first moment.
What is new in 2.5.5
A new mark, now in every place it appears
The app carries a new icon: the Mushaf resting open on a rehal, drawn flat in ink and sage on the same parchment every screen inside uses. It reached the home screen first and the lock screen player and status bar later, because those are separate pictures. All three are the one mark now, and updating the app is enough to see it: the artwork on the lock screen used to be written once and then kept forever, so a reader who updated rather than reinstalled went on seeing the old one.
A new look, built around one lit niche
Every screen now has a single lit object on it: a mihrab niche, faced in glazed jade tile and trimmed in gold, with everything else the quiet parchment wall around it. This website is drawn from the same palette, so the phone and the laptop are plainly the same app.
Sunrise is no longer called to prayer
Sunrise is not a prayer, and the app used to sound an adhan for it. It now has a struck bell of its own, in one of three tones, or silence if you prefer.
The qibla points at true north, not magnetic north
A phone's compass reads the magnetic field, which is a few degrees off true north in most places and much more in some. That difference is now taken out of the bearing where you are standing, so the needle and the printed bearing agree.
The widget stops announcing your town
Nobody glances at a prayer widget to find out what town they are in. The location line is gone, and the room it took has gone to the times.
What is in it
The whole Quran, with no signal needed
Open it on a plane, in a tunnel, on a mountain or in a village with no signal, and the whole Quran is still there. Every ayah, every translation and the whole recitation are already on your phone before you open it for the first time, and nothing is ever downloaded as you read.
Every ayah in your own language
This website carries 40 translations. The app carries all 175, in 70 languages, resting beside the Arabic. The whole list is one tap away and searchable, so you can change the one you read whenever you like. The Arabic itself is in IndoPak Nastaleeq, the script familiar across South Asia.
Tap a word, and hear it on its own
Every word carries its meaning underneath it, and tapping one plays that single word, as many times as you need. Play the whole ayah instead and the words light up as al-Afasy recites, so your eye never loses its place. It keeps reciting with the screen off, with the controls on your lock screen.
Prayer timings worked out on your phone
From where you are standing and the position of the sun, with the calculation method and the Asr school your masjid follows.
28 adhan recordings by 24 muezzins, 11 of them Fajr adhans
The adhan sounds on time, even with the app closed and battery saving on. Twenty four muezzins: seventeen recordings for the daily prayers, and eleven made for Fajr, which carry as-salatu khayrun min an-nawm. Choose a different voice for each prayer. Sunrise is not a prayer, so it is not called: it gets a struck bell of its own, or nothing at all if you would rather.
Face Makkah, and see the next prayer at a glance
The compass turns with you, with the Kaaba marking the direction and the distance to it underneath, and the difference between magnetic and true north where you are standing is already taken out of the bearing. On your home screen, a widget carries the next prayer, the time left and the whole day.
What it looks like
And on a tablet
The same app, laid out for the room a tablet gives it. Your place, your bookmarks and your settings are the same on both.
Questions
Is this the same app that will be on Google Play?
Yes, exactly the same file, version 2.5.5, signed with the same key. It is on its way to the Play store now; while that is being reviewed you can have it straight from here. When it is on Play, this button will point there instead.
Is it safe to install an app from outside the store?
Android will warn you, and it is right to: you should only ever do this when you know where the file came from. This one is served over HTTPS from quran.rehanify.com, which is our own site, and it is signed with the same certificate Google Play will check against when the store version goes out.
What does it cost?
Nothing, now or later. No ads, no subscription, nothing to buy inside it and no account to make. Free, and always will be.
How big is the download?
About 1.6 GB. It is that size because the whole Quran, all 175 translations and the complete recitation come inside it, so there is nothing left to download afterwards and nothing to stream. Get it on Wi-Fi once and it is yours.
Will it update itself?
Not while you have it from here: a file you install yourself is not watched by the store. Once the app is on Google Play, install it there once and updates arrive by themselves like any other app.
Which Android versions does it run on?
Android 7.0 and later.
The app collects nothing at all. Read the privacy policy, or recite the Quran here in your browser instead.
