IQIBLA Life: The Muslim's Daily Companion The IQIBLA Life app is your daily companion, helping you perform your acts of worship with ease and reverence. The app not only integrates with our smart products such as the Zikr Ring and Qibla Watch but also functions as a standalone app containing prayer times, Qibla directions, and many other features that enable you to draw closer to Allah Almighty in the best way. Prayer Times Allah Almighty has prescribed for Muslims specific acts of worship at specific times, including prayer, fasting, and Hajj. Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times." (An-Nisa: 103) Performing the five daily prayers at their appointed times is an essential part of a Muslim's daily life and soul. Qibla Direction The Qibla is the direction of the Holy Kaaba, which is located in the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Allah Almighty says: "Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Makkah - blessed and a guidance for the worlds." (Al-Imran: 96) It is the holiest place in Islam, and every Muslim must face its direction in prayer wherever they are on Earth. Zikr Ring The Zikr Ring is a smart device used as an alternative to the Zikr prayer beads, allowing you to count your invocations and glorifications easily and comfortably. The ring works in sync with the app to automatically record your Zikr, making the remembrance of Allah a part of your daily life with ease and convenience.

HiveIT's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
