Deen Lantern is a free, ad-free daily companion for Muslims — built as sadaqah for the ummah. No ads, no subscriptions, no tracking. Just everything you need to keep up your prayer and remembrance, in one quiet, beautifully designed app. PRAYER TIMES Accurate prayer times for your location, with multiple calculation methods (ISNA, MWL, Egyptian, Karachi, Umm al-Qura, and more) and both Standard and Hanafi Asr options. Sunrise time is shown between Fajr and Dhuhr so you always know when Fajr's window ends. Set your location automatically by GPS or enter your city manually. ADHAN AT PRAYER TIME Hear the call to prayer at the exact moment each prayer enters. Per-prayer toggles let you choose which adhans play. When the app is closed, a notification fires with the first 28 seconds of the adhan. When open, the full adhan plays. Beautifully recited by Sheikh Ahmad Al-Hadaad. PRAYER TRACKER Mark each of the five daily prayers as you complete them. A 12-week heatmap shows your consistency at a glance, with per-prayer percentages and an all-five-prayers streak counter. Missed a day? The built-in date picker lets you backfill prayers from the last 30 days. FULL QUR'AN WITH AUDIO The complete Qur'an with English translation and transliteration alongside the Arabic. Beautiful audio recitation from seven world-renowned reciters — Mishary Alafasy, Maher Al-Muaiqly, Abdurrahman As-Sudais, Mahmoud Khalil Al-Husary, Abdul Basit Abdul Samad, Mohamed Siddiq Al-Minshawi, and Hani Ar-Rifai. Ayah-level highlighting follows the audio. Auto-advance through entire surahs. Adjustable playback speed and ayah repeat. Lock screen controls and background playback let you listen anywhere. SEARCH THE ENTIRE QUR'AN Search across the full Qur'an by English translation or transliteration. Type any word and instantly see every matching ayah with the search term highlighted. Tap any result to jump to that ayah. CONTINUE READING Pick up right where you left off. A "Continue reading" card appears at the top of the Qur'an tab with the option to resume in Surah view or Juz view. BOOKMARKS Save any ayah for quick return. Open bookmarks in either Surah or Juz view. AUTHENTIC DUAS A curated collection of daily and situational duas, each with hadith citations from Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and other trusted sources. Arabic text, transliteration, and English translation. QIBLA COMPASS A precise qibla compass that points you toward the Kaaba from anywhere in the world. HANDS-FREE TASBIH Count tasbih without unlocking your phone — press your volume buttons to count, or say "Hey Siri, count one tasbih." Track multiple dhikr in sequence with auto-advance. Set daily goals, track streaks, and feel haptic feedback with each count. HOME & LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS Multiple widget sizes show your next prayer and the countdown, always at a glance. Lock screen widgets keep prayer times one tap away. Prayer Tracker Widget lets you update your prayer tracking without opening the app. PRIVACY-FIRST All data stays on your device. No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. No iCloud sync that could leak your prayer history. Your relationship with Allah is between you and Him. DARK MODE A beautifully designed dark mode that's easy on the eyes for night prayers and pre-dawn Qur'an reading. FREE FOREVER No paywalls, no premium tiers, no ads. The full app is free for everyone. An optional tip jar is available if you'd like to support development, but every feature is unlocked from the moment you install.
