## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.8 — 2026-08-23

Adhkar that keep a record.

Finish the morning or evening adhkar and the day is marked — there is no button to press. Five weeks of it at a glance, and the reminder for a window you have already kept does not arrive. There is a tasbih on the Home Screen now as well, which you can press without opening the app.

A new Hajj guide walks the five days in the order they happen, counting the tawaf circuits and the stoning for you.

Also new:
• A date converter: Gregorian and Hijri, both live
• Share any du'a from the adhkar as a card
• Live TV and radio

### 1.7 — 2026-08-12

Prayer times, checked against the authorities that publish them.

Every timetable is now compared with its own country's official source, day by day — 1,255 published days across nine authorities: Umm al-Qura, Malaysia's JAKIM, Türkiye's Diyanet, Oman's Ministry of Awqaf, Kuwait's Al-Ojeiri, Indonesia's Kemenag, Qatar Calendar House, the UAE's GAIAE, and Bahrain's official calendar.

That check found real differences. All are fixed here:
• Malaysia ran 3–4 minutes early — JAKIM's ihtiyat margin was missing
• Saudi Arabia was a minute early on every prayer but sunrise
• Indonesia was a minute early at Isha
• Bahrain carried no safety margin at all
• Qatar's offsets were re-measured against Qatar Calendar House itself

Also new:
• The complete Hisn al-Muslim: 132 chapters and 267 supplications, arranged in 11 themes, each with recitation you can listen to
• A make-up ledger for missed prayers and missed fasts, which merges safely across your devices
• Five days of everything, free — and nothing is charged when it ends
• Every widget size, on every screen, for everyone
• Your first group khatmah circle is now free to start (joining one always was)
• Invite links now open a real page for anyone who does not have Mishkat yet, instead of nothing at all
• Share your mosque's iqama times by link or QR — whoever knows them can hand them to the whole congregation
• Prayer reminders carry an "Adhkar" action now, straight to the remembrances after the salam
• A voluntary sadaqah towards running Mishkat, on the Sadaqah screen and in the Trust Center. It unlocks nothing — the Qur'an is free and stays free.

Where a country publishes no timetable, Mishkat computes from that authority's own published parameters — and every timetable now tells you which of the two you are reading, and how closely it was checked.

### 1.6 — 2026-07-23

A calmer, faster Mishkat.

• The More tab is now a dashboard. Your habits sit on top, and every row shows where you left off — your streak, juz' completed, verses due for review, fasts and sadaqah logged this month.
• Search the whole app from one place: a surah, a dhikr, one of the 99 Names, or any feature.
• A new first-run walkthrough, and a deeper, calmer green throughout the app.
• Every prayer now has its own glyph in the timetable, so the day has a shape.
• Live Activity: a progress bar to the next prayer, its Arabic name, and times that finally follow your 12/24-hour setting.
• Apple Watch: the complication was dropping the prayer name and cutting the countdown short. Fixed — it now reads cleanly, e.g. "in 23 min".

Fixes: several icons that never drew at all, an Adhkar search box that was invisible, and Qur'an search that missed "Rahman" because the text spells it "Rahmaan".

Still no ads, no subscription, and the Qur'an free forever.

### 1.5 — 2026-07-20

The biggest update yet — Mishkat now moves with your day.

• A live “Now” home card suggests the right worship for this moment — morning & evening adhkar, Duha, witr, bedtime Al-Mulk, the last third of the night.
• Friday mode: Surah Al-Kahf, a salawat counter, and the hour-of-answer reminder.
• Read the Qur'an together: invite family to a group khatmah, claim ajza', and see everyone's progress live. New family circle shows streaks and lets you send a dua.
• Umrah mode: offline step-by-step guide with a Tawaf & Sa'i counter on iPhone and Apple Watch.
• My Mosque: your iqama times, Jumu'ah and khutbah language, with “iqama soon” alerts.
• Tajwid-colored Qur'an reading and an on-device recitation check for memorization.
• Iftar & Suhoor Live Activity, bedtime & rain-dua reminders, a Trust Center, and more accurate official prayer-time methods.

Still no ads, no subscription, and the Qur'an free forever.
