Iqama — your companion for keeping the five daily prayers steady, honestly, and in good company. The idea is simple: no pressure, no lectures, just the tools that make a habit stick. Log each prayer with how it went (on time, in congregation, at the mosque, made up later, or missed), and watch your consistency improve, week after week. —— What makes Iqama different —— • Private leagues with the people you love Start a league for your family, your friends, or your colleagues. Everyone joins by invitation only and your ranking stays between you. A gentle, friendly competition that keeps everyone motivated — no public feeds, no oversharing. • Your whole day, one screen A live countdown to the next prayer, today's progress (3 of 5), a verse to reflect on, and quick links to the Quran, your log, and adhkar. Everything you need before Maghrib in one scroll. • A complete prayer log A monthly calendar that paints each day with a multi-segment ring (green = on time, orange = made up, empty = missed). Monthly totals and a tap to edit any past day. • Stats that nudge, never nag Weekly and monthly reports — performance rate, current streak, points earned, your strongest prayer, and the one that needs your attention. Short, kind suggestions instead of guilt trips. • Earn badges for showing up Over 12 bronze, silver, and gold badges — for Fajr streaks, perfect weeks, congregation, mosque visits, and morning + evening adhkar. Each one a small celebration of a steady step. • Qibla, wherever you are A precise compass with the distance to Mecca and the bearing from north. Hold the phone flat and the needle settles. • Daily adhkar Morning, evening, and after-prayer remembrance — fully vowelled Arabic with English translations. Tap to count each zikr and watch your session fill in. • Digital tasbih A clean counter with a bead ring that fills as you tap. Choose 33, 99, or a custom target. Tap anywhere on the screen. • The Holy Quran Mushaf-style pages with ornate sura headers and decorated ayah numbers, on a calm reading background that's easy on the eyes. • Notifications, your way A reminder 10 minutes before each prayer, an alert if you haven't logged the prayer after its time has passed, and a short Takbir tone per prayer that you can switch on or off individually. • Home-screen widget A widget in several sizes that shows the next prayer and today's progress directly on your phone's home screen — no need to open the app. —— Privacy —— • Every league is invite-only. There are no public leagues. • Your data belongs to you. We don't sell it or share it with third parties. • Sign in by email, Apple, or Google — fully optional. —— Why Iqama? —— Consistency is harder than intention, and easier in good company. Iqama doesn't ask you to be perfect — it helps you see your path clearly, celebrates every step, and turns the gentle competition with people you love into real motivation. Start today. Log your first prayer and invite someone you love to your league.
