Meet Rafiq — a companion for your journey, wherever you are. Make space for prayer, Qur’an, learning and reflection in your everyday life. Rafiq brings these together in one thoughtfully designed app, helping you build a routine that feels personal and meaningful. Whether you’re finding your rhythm, returning to familiar habits or taking your first steps towards something new, Rafiq is here to support you at your own pace. KEEP PRAYER CLOSE Bring more awareness of prayer into your day. Check daily prayer times, see which prayer comes next and plan around the moments that matter. With the Next Prayer lock-screen widget, see the upcoming prayer and a live countdown without opening the app. Animated progress helps you see the time remaining at a glance, whether you’re studying, working or on the move. YOUR QUR’AN JOURNEY, AT YOUR PACE Make time for the Qur’an in a way that fits your day. Read the Arabic text alongside English translation, listen to recitation, save your place and explore tools to support memorisation. Return for a short reading session or settle into something longer. Separate Qur’an reading preferences let you adjust your experience independently from the rest of the app. DISCOVER, LEARN AND REFLECT Explore stories of the Prophets, hadiths, duas and Islamic history. Spend time with a story, discover a topic you haven’t explored before or revisit something familiar with fresh attention. Interactive timeline challenges offer another way to engage with Islamic history and put your knowledge to the test. Rafiq brings learning into the same space as your daily worship tools, making it easier to find a moment for both. FIND A MOSQUE NEAR YOU Feel more connected to your surroundings, at home or somewhere new. Discover nearby mosques, get directions and save your favourites so you can find them again easily. MAKE RAFIQ FEEL LIKE YOURS Choose a look that makes the app feel welcoming every time you open it. Explore seven themes: • Obsidian • Midnight • Blossom • Emerald • Noor • Saffron • Ember From gentle colours to deeper tones, each theme offers its own atmosphere, with matching app icons to complete the look. Adjust interface text size for comfortable reading while keeping your Qur’an text preferences separate. A COMPANION FOR EVERYDAY FAITH Some days leave room for a longer reading session. Others offer a few quiet minutes between everything else. Rafiq is designed to support both: checking the next prayer, returning to your reading, finding a dua or taking time to learn something new. It’s a place to return to as you build your own routine, one day at a time. SHAPED BY YOUR FEEDBACK Your experience matters.
