## What is AHM?

Al-Hira is the official app for Al-Hira Mosque & Education Centre, East London.

Stay connected with your mosque. Check prayer and Jam'at times at a glance, follow a live countdown to the next prayer and browse the full timetable — this month and next. Never miss a prayer with customisable notifications, Live Activity countdowns on your Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets. Grow closer to the Qur'an with a daily verse and reflection, follow our step-by-step Hajj and Umrah guides, and support the mosque with quick, secure donations — right from the app. The Donate page also publishes what the mosque receives and what it spends, so you can see exactly where your donation goes.

For families in our Islamic education classes, the Education Portal keeps you close to your child's learning — check attendance, fees and monthly progress reports, and message teachers directly, all in one place. Teachers and staff use the same portal to take the register and record progress.

Prayer times and the calendar stay available offline so you can check times anywhere — no signal needed. Available in English and Arabic. Completely free with no ads.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.5 — 2026-08-25

The Islamic date now changes at Maghrib.

The Islamic day begins at sunset so from Maghrib onwards the Home screen shows the next day's Hijri date instead of waiting until midnight.

The widgets now show the same Islamic date as the app. They worked it out separately before, so they could be a day out from the Home screen and spelled some months differently — "Rabi I" rather than Rabi ul Awwal. Every widget now follows the date printed in the masjid's own timetable and turns over at Maghrib too.

### 3.3 — 2026-08-20

Free Alim demo classes — every Saturday morning in August and free to attend. The app now reminds you on Friday and again on Saturday morning with the times and which hall to go to and directions to the mosque.

How to Pray
• A Qibla Compass button now sits inside the "Facing the Qiblah" section,   so you can check the direction without leaving the guide.
• The rak'ah tables are colour-coded. Fardh, wajib, sunnah mu'akkadah, sunnah ghayr mu'akkadah and nafl each have their own colour, with a key explaining what each one means so you can see what a prayer is made up of at a glance.

Foundation Alim Course
• The course page now says where the classes are held: brothers in the second floor men's hall, sisters in the women's hall, with tap-through directions to the mosque.

iPad
• Larger, more readable text across the prayer times, calendar and
  guides, and landscape no longer leaves wide empty margins either side.

Arabic
• The Home Screen widgets and the Apple Watch app now follow the language you choose in the app, rather than the phone's system language.

### 3.1 — 2026-08-11

Privacy and your data
- Analytics now asks first. The app used to collect anonymous usage
statistics automatically. It now asks you once and either answer is completely fine. You can change your mind at any time in App Settings.
- Download your data. Anyone with an Education Portal account can request a copy of everything the app holds about them.
- Block a user. If a message from another parent or a member of staff isn't welcome, you can block them from your side and undo it later.
- Portal passwords are now at least 12 characters, with a strength meter and advice as you type. Length matters more than symbols, so a memorable phrase of three words is accepted and encouraged.
- The Privacy Policy has been updated to reflect all of the above.

Education Portal
- Sign-in was telling some staff to check their connection when their connection was fine. The app now recognises when the portal has simply taken too long, says so, and quietly tries again before giving up.

Fixes
- Zakat calculations and Qaza counts now sync across your devices through iCloud. This was always meant to work and never did, so your saved entries will appear on your other devices from now on.
- The widget could show stand-in prayer times before it had loaded the real timetable. It now waits for the mosque's actual times.
- The widget preview in the gallery showed a countdown running the wrong way when added in the afternoon.
- Arabic translations completed across the guides and the Education Portal.
- The mosque crest is now correctly centred everywhere it appears.

### 3.0 — 2026-08-07

New guides
- How to Pray - wudu and what breaks it, the prayer time windows, rakah counts, the order and positions of each rakah, every recitation from the Niyyah to the Salaam, witr, the duas after salah, tarawih and the sunnahs of Jumuah. The method is given for men and women side by side.
- Janazah Prayer - what the funeral prayer is, how it differs from other prayers, the method through its four takbirs, and the duas used when the deceased is a child.
Both prayer guides are built from the masjid's own Islamic Education syllabus.

Zakat Calculator
The calculator is now live under a new Tools section in Services, alongside the Qaza Tracker. It uses current gold and silver prices to work out the Nisab, tells you clearly whether Zakat is due, and saves your calculations so you can look back at them next year.

Services is now easier to find your way around: Mosque, Daily Reflections, Tools, then Islamic Guides - the things you open often come first.

Education Portal
- Sign-in is fixed. Some staff were being told to check their connection when the fault lay elsewhere, and repeated attempts on a poor connection could lock an account for several minutes. That no longer happens, and the app now says what actually went wrong.
- Registers and fees now confirm they saved. Previously a register could appear to be marked while the save had quietly failed.
- A child's attendance and fees each have their own page, so their record stays readable as the year fills up.
- Staff can now remove a parent account linked to a child by mistake.
- A head teacher keeps their own class, register and Alim group alongside the school-wide admin view.
- Dates now follow the mosque's day rather than the phone's, so a register marked abroad files under the right day.
- The portal loads faster and uses far less data.

Also in this release
- The widget could show stand-in prayer times when the timetable had no row for today. It now waits for real times instead.
- VoiceOver improvements to the Qibla compass and the prayer times list.
- Arabic translations across the app, including the Education Portal's messages.
- The Privacy Policy's section on location has been corrected and clarified.

### 2.5 — 2026-08-04

Donations & expenditure — now published in the app
We want to be open with everyone who supports the masjid. The Donate page now shows what we have received and what we have spent, side by side, updated roughly once a month. Tap "Find out more about where our donations go" to see exactly what those costs cover : water, electricity, air conditioning, cleaning, building work and running this app. If there is a gap between the two, your donation is what closes it.

Ḥajj Guide
A step by step companion to our Umrah Guide, taking you from preparation and iḥram, through the Umrah of Tamattu and the five days of Ḥajj day by day, to the ziyārah of Madinah with 175 tasks you can tick off as you go and the duās for each stage. It follows Ḥajj at Tamattu according to the Ḥanafi school. Find it under Islamic Guides in the Services tab.

Prayer times
• Browse two months of the timetable, so you can look ahead to next month
• Fixed a problem where the widget could show stand-in prayer times instead of the real ones

Education Portal
• Authorised absences and daily reports for parents
• Faster loading, and live updates while you have a page open
• Head teachers now see their own class alongside the school-wide view

Also in this update
• Arabic across the whole app, including the Donate and finance pages
• VoiceOver support for the Qibla compass
• Standalone Qibla on Apple Watch now works without your iPhone nearby
• Various fixes and performance improvements
