Vakat vs Nawaya

Vakat shows you at a glance how much time is left until the next prayer, along with all of today's prayer times and a sky that changes with the time of day, from dawn to night. Prayer times work anywhere in the world. They are calculated for your location using the method common in your country (Diyanet in Europe), and the home screen shows how they are calculated. Choose a city yourself or let the app use your location, without continuous tracking. So you never miss a prayer, Vakat reminds you as many minutes ahead as you like, separately for each prayer. Reminders work even without internet. You can also keep the next prayer or today's full schedule on your home screen and lock screen as a widget. The Qibla compass uses true north and shows how accurate the compass is at the moment. On the map you see the direction to the Kaaba as a line, along with mosques near you. Tap a mosque to see how far it is and get directions. There is also a calendar with Hijri dates and Islamic holidays. During Ramadan, Fajr and Maghrib show the suhoor and iftar times. Listen to the Quran recited by one of ten well-known reciters, streamed without downloading. You will also find the 99 Names of Allah, hadiths, duas, texts for Jumu'ah and a tasbih counter, and every day a hadith, a dua and one of the Names of Allah wait for you on the home screen. Light and dark theme, following your iPhone or your choice. Vakat is free and has no ads. It requires no registration and doesn't track you. Your location stays on your iPhone. The app is available in English, German, Turkish and Bosnian. Hadiths, duas and other library texts are in Bosnian.

Actions are judged by intentions. Nawaya helps you remember that — right before it matters. Add the things you do every day — work, study, training, family time, sleep — and Nawaya reminds you a few minutes before each one to set your intention for it. One short, calm notification, and then on with your day. WHY INTENTION The Prophet (peace be upon him) said that actions are judged by intentions (Sahih al-Bukhari 1, Sahih Muslim 1907). With a right intention, ordinary hours — at work, at your desk, in the gym, with your family — become worship. Intend first, and a short life can carry the reward of a very long one. HOW IT WORKS • Add an activity in seconds: a category, a start time and the days — the same time every day, or a different time on different days. • Choose how early the reminder comes: from right at the start to an hour before. • Start from a ready-made intention for each kind of activity, or write it in your own words. • Today shows your next reminder with a countdown, and your whole day at a glance. • Each day brings a verse of the Qur'an in Arabic, with an English translation and its source. • From the notification: mark it done, or have it come back in five minutes. • Four calm themes — Fajr, Zaytun, Sahara and Layl — in light and dark. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No tracking. Nawaya works entirely offline and keeps everything on your phone. Export your data to a file whenever you like, or delete it all in Settings. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Bosnian, Turkish, Arabic, Albanian, German, Urdu, Indonesian, Malay and French, with right-to-left layouts for Arabic and Urdu. SOURCES Qur'anic text from Tanzil; English translation by Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall (public domain). The intention templates are reminders in the app's own words — not duas and not quotations.
