Sabeel is a prayer-times display built to live on a mounted iPad or iPhone — always visible, always accurate, with no ads, no accounts, and no tracking of any kind. FEATURES • All six prayer times, calculated on your device — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha, and Tahajjud (the last third of the night) — using the same well-established astronomical method most prayer apps rely on. • Choose your calculation method (Muslim World League, ISNA, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian, Karachi) and Asr school (Shafi'i or Hanafi), or nudge any individual prayer's time to match your local mosque. • A real adhan at the right moment — pick from a library of built-in calls to prayer, or record your own voice, per prayer. • A live qibla compass with a needle that points straight at the Kaaba, using your device's own sensors. • Hijri calendar date, shown alongside the Gregorian date, with your choice of calculation source. • Hadith of the Day — a single, Sahih-graded hadith, refreshed daily. • A built-in Qur'an player — stream any of the 114 surahs, or download them for offline listening. • Power Saver settings so a display left on all day doesn't have to stay at full brightness — dim automatically between prayers and brighten for each adhan, or let the display sleep on its own schedule between prayers. • Set your location automatically from GPS, or type in a place name manually — your choice.
