What is Taqwa?

Taqwa gives you the essentials of the day in one quiet place: accurate prayer times where you are, the adhan when they arrive, the whole Quran to read and listen to, and the Qibla. It works offline, costs nothing, shows no adverts and asks for no account.

PRAYER TIMES • Times for your location, from GPS or a city you choose from more than 24,000. • The calculation methods used around the world (Muslim World League, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian, Karachi, ISNA, Turkey and more), with the right one suggested for your country. • Sensible rules for high latitudes, where the night is too short for the usual angles. • A notification for each prayer, from a quiet chime to the full adhan in a choice of voices, with an optional reminder before it. • Home-screen widgets with today's times and the countdown to the next prayer. • The Hijri date alongside the Gregorian one.

THE QURAN • The complete Uthmani text, in the same script as the Madinah Mushaf, with the traditional page layout when you want to read as from the printed Mushaf. • Translations in English, Arabic tafsir, French, Turkish, Indonesian, Urdu and Bengali, shown under each ayah. • Search across the Arabic text and the translations. • Bookmarks, copy and share, and a card that takes you back to where you stopped. • Recitation by ten reciters, downloaded once per surah and played offline, with lock-screen controls; when a surah ends the next one follows. • An ayah-of-the-day widget.

QIBLA • A compass pointing to Makkah, with the bearing and distance, and an honest word when the phone's compass cannot be trusted.

TASBEEH • A dhikr counter with the post-prayer set built in.

MADE TO BE TRUSTED • No account, no adverts, no analytics and no tracking of any kind. • Your location is used on your phone to calculate times and never sent anywhere. • The only thing the app ever downloads is recitation audio you ask for. • Free and open source under the GPL, with every source and licence credited in the app. Available in English, Arabic, French, Turkish, Indonesian, Urdu and Bengali.
